Looking to get new rims. Suggestions?

[PokerBlakeB]

Hey guys, looking to buy my first set of rims. Car is a bright red 2002 pontiac grand prix gt with stock suspension right now. I was looking at these rims, what you guys think? How hard would it be to run these? I love the deep dish look, so that's what I'm going for. Feel free to link me to other rims.

i like the second ones, but you should try and find some GXP rims if your going to be spending that much on rims. buying GXP rims would save you some money over these also

 

[PokerBlakeB]

Yeah good idea. I just dont really care for the gxp rims. Yours do look great, painted white.

 

[sLpGPGT]

both are pretty nice, but i like the 2nd one

thanks there just base model 07 rims i wish i had GXP rims so bad, but if you dont like them ever think about 99 mustang cobra rims?

He was talking about these

How big did ya want to go?

 

[PokerBlakeB]

18" rim.

I like how both of the rims look, however in reviewing the bolt pattern options I'm not seeing one that doesn't involve a BFH for fitment issues.

 

[PokerBlakeB]

Oh really

They fit a Mustang.

Why wouldn't they fit a Grand Prix?

Please don't tell me you're one of those 5x114.3 won't fit a 5x115 pattern people.

 

[PokerBlakeB]

Yeah it's showing 5x114 for these. would those fit blue?

 

[Bio248]

theyll fit.

5x114.3 and 5x115 are basically exactly the same.

 

[PokerBlakeB]

I'm assuming when it says 5x114 it really means 5x114.3? The wheel itself is 18x8.5 with an offset of 35. What is the most offset you could run without rubbing? I'd hate to buy these and have fitment issues. Which ones would you choose bio?

 

[Odi]

depends on the width, but that would sit fairly "flush" and shouldnt rub w/ 245's

 

[PokerBlakeB]

Good, I'm really considering these. Anyone here have these?

 

[h0wl0ngcanitbe]

Cant say that I have seen these on any Member rides, my metrics are exactly like the ones stated before and I love my fitment and its next too no rub until I crank it in a really tight corner.

Id go with set two personally. I think they would compliment the ride. What color is your GP that might effect the final decision.

 

[PokerBlakeB]

Bright red grand prix. Has the front lip painted gloss black too. Would really compliment the gloss black 5 spokes.

 

[h0wl0ngcanitbe]

Oh snap now I see that in the OP, yeah I would totally go with the second set that would look pretty dope.

New GXP wheels are more than those. and good luck finding some used ones in good shape...

I like the black ones.. Will look good on a red car.
