Where do I get wheels?

My grand prix gt is now 12 years old. It still has the original stock wheels on them. They are in decent shape, except one has a lot of corrosion in one area. I've thought about getting new wheels. The local shop down the street doesn't have any good ones that fit what I'm looking for. Sites like ZZP don't sell wheels. I've heard of carid, but I don't know if they are any good. I'm hoping to get wheels with the 5 star look that are skinny (so it looks like a skinny star), but I don't know where to go. Any sites you guys recommend?

this link is all stock wheels that will fit your car. google the car, find something you like, then search craigslist for part outs, or the wheels for sale. http://www.roadkillcustoms.com/hot-...tudSpreadInch=&StudSpreadMM=115#axzz3RDUwuc00

how i got the STS wheels in my sig pic down there.

then i searched for 5x115 wheels and snow tires and found my winter wheels with snow tires.

winter multi lug set wheels. no idea who makes these but with hub rings they ride nice now.

I would go check out any junkyards nearby and look for a set of torque starts. they are the 5 point offset wheel that comes on a lot of grand prix gtp's. best oem wheel available.

What size and money are you willing to spend?
What finish do you want.

Discount tire direct on e-bay has a pretty good selection. Good deals and free shipping usually.
5 x 115, which is the bolt pattern for a GP, wont net you diddley.
GP owners who want a decent looking wheel will use the 5 x 114.3 bolt pattern because it fits.
Make sure the offset is no lower than say 35 and the hub bore is more than 70.3. Don't forget hub centric rings to adapt the new wheels to your hub.

There is a lot of 5 spoke wheels to pick from out there.
 
i agree with koRnhead... ive seen many of rims for sale locally on CL. its actually kinda fun searching and finding them,i actually found a set and traded a old riding mower for them! they werent exactly what i wanted,but much better than what i have now!
