gxp had black rims?!

[OmegaRed]

yesterday off craigslist i randomly came across a set of gxp wheels for sale and i scooped them up asap of course.. anyway, they are a graphite gray color... i didnt even know they came like this and it doesnt look aftermarket at all... anyone got any input?

 

[Whitehispanic]

I thought Gxp rims only fit gxp not the gtps but i might be wrong but anyways i did see it once on a gxp they look very nice but i am not sure if they stock.

Pretty sure those are G6 GXP/GTP rims, and they won't fit our cars.

 

[Whitehispanic]

Yeah thats what i thought lol but they look so much better than the stocks gp come with

 

[OmegaRed]

nope, they are off of a grand prix gxp, i saw the car they came off of....

yet you've got a pic of a wheel in a box with no rubber?
is that one of your wheels or a pic you found online?

 

[OmegaRed]

its the craigslist add photo, as soon as my baby goes to sleep, ill go outside and try one on and throw up a pic for you guys.... i havent bought tires yet =(

 

[noreasonwhyy]

hope it works out for you.

Maybe it's the way the picture is, but they spokes look too wide for GP gxp rims.

^x2

I don't think those came off a Grand Prix.

 

[JESSEGOTTA GP GT]

If they came off of a G6 they won't fit, so I hope the OP is right....

Ya those are 2008 Grand Prix GXP wheels. Heres the closest pic I could find, but couldnt find a set in that color. Dont be surprised if those are painted aftermarket. But if they are, by the looks of the pics, they did a good job. If its factory, then its news to me, and thats even better for you.

Heres the pic I found.

Link to the car.

yep, they are gxp rims heres some double checking the fitment pics

 

[TheOtherNick]

should look pretty good.

 

[rocafella2032]

hmm..owner must of had them painted. I'm pretty sure they never came that option stock. They look nice though.

im thinking about having them done a lighter shade, i like darker grey but this is a bit too close to black for my taste

 

[SuperSport]

Ehh wait till you get tires on them and get them on the car. You may change your mind.

Looks like they were powder coated... How much did you score them for?

 

[vFULLCOLLAPSEv]

What size are your old wheels? Thinking of selling them?

GXP rims did not come in that color. You should leave them that way just to be different.
