so one of my rims cracked today...dunno how but o well thats not the point. well i am going to be replacing both of the front ones cause they were both in worse shape than the rear. my question is on the site im looking at they have a couple styles and types. just wanna get input and make sure before i order that they are what im supposed to use. Im pretty sure my front rims are 18x7.
heres the link
http://wheelsandcaps.com/p-22018-aluminum-wheel-rim-18x8-6592.aspx
now the have two things listed on the site.
reconditioned OEM Chrome plated and
reconditioned OEM Polished face

which ones are the same as the original ones from factory? i clean my rims and take care of them but i want the ones i need that will weigh the same as the original one.

also if anyone is selling a set or a single i will also consider it as well as long as its in good condition



and heres a pic of the crack.

You have 8"s in the front unless someone switched them with the back.

I think it would be better to have 8" wheels allround, I know not the issue..7"s will work just fine
 
the cheapest ive been able to find was 125. and might as well get a new one cause when i got this car the part of the rims you can see are pretty beat up...previous owner never cleaned or took care of them

thats one reason i posted this. i will look to see if they have 8
 
She is correct, you have 18x8 up front and 18x7 in the rears.

And as the person said above, you can get those type of cracks fixed pretty easy. Or buy new rims and keep the old ones as spares.
 
i edited the link above for the new rim to 18x8. glad you all caught that


and the way i see it. 125 for this one to be welded and a new one is only a little bit more
 
kinda sucks...... GMs crappy azz chrome wheels cost BIG$

Don't get me wrong, I like the GXP wheels but damn my chrome 2004 torque stars loose chrome like a snake sheds.

I think that you made a good choice.
 
yup. i found another site and they have two brand new ones with pics. but thats all they have is two so im not gonna post a link just yet so no one steals my deal...gonna look a little more then order tomorrow
