Hey all,

I have a 2004 black Grand Prix GT and I need to do some rim shopping. I have tinted windows and tail lights and don't plan on lowering it so if you're gonna be that guy who just says "lower it, lower it, lower it" then you are on the wrong thread. I had 20s and 19s in the past but now I'm interested in some clean 18s with some rubber to maintain performance. The Verde Protocols look great but I dont know if they will look great ON my car:th_nervous: So with that being said I am open to suggestions and would like to see some examples
ALSO If I go with 18s what size tire would you recommend? I want something that will fill up the wheel well since I'm not lowering it and will protect the tire, but I also want something that doesn't belittle the rims and still gives them an aggressive look.

I have the same problem right now, Im thinking of 19's. Those Verde's look good. The newer impala's have a similar style that looks good.
 
I love these whore your car out threads....

18 MSR

Sellin these for cheap if you want em.

They tires are 245/45/18 as ffdp recommended, Kumho Ecsta 4x... love em. Not lowered. (Tires arent for sale, just the wheels.)
 


those look good what size are those? are they off a GXP? and how do the tires look? how much you looking to get for them...
 
I am looking into coilovers for my car with KYB GR-2 struts anyone know what size wheel and tire would be good to use if I lower it? I want coilovers for adjustability and I would probably want to do a 2-3 inch drop. I'm thinking 18s with some tire, any suggestions?????

They're 18x8, and they're Mille Miglia evo-5... going for 250

What do you mean by how do the tires look? They're in the picture, unless you mean more detailed... if you want more detailed pictures just google it and do some research about em, there's info all over the place. They seem pretty popular.

Also this tire/rim size is good for lowering 1-2" or so, I believe from what I've read around these parts

Read Bio's post on lowering in the chassis section, it has a lot of good info
 
Wow I like those Evo-5's. Im wondering how they would look in 20". I will have to see if I can find some pictures of that.

You want 250 for all 4 with tires? Why are you getting rid of them they look good!

No, I said tires not included in the post...

The price is just because the one wheel just vibrates a little bit cause it's slightly bent, people on here told me it's normal to drive on a slightly bent wheel though. I just got new ones with my taxes though, so Im lookin to just get these out of my garage fast cause they're taking up valuable space.

Where are you buying these from? I cant find them listed for our cars anywhere. I wanted to see them in different finishes.
 
They're actually discontinued... look for them under Sport Edition Kv5.. the kv5's are a replica of the original Mille Miglias.

If you want 18's you might have to look for them under a 2008 Mustang... that's the only way I could find them.. for some reason looking them up under a Grand Prix only gives 17's.
Bolt pattern and hub bore matches up so no worries

I paid almost 600 for my new set.
