Thread: What Bronze Wheels Will Fit My GP?

Man, I have been looking here and at all the wheel sites I can find for a set of bronze wheels to go on my bronzemetallic GP. I'd like to go to a 17" wheel, but when I do find one I'm not sure what wheel width is correct and, more importantly, what tire will fit this wheel without causing rubbing issues. If necessary, I can stick with a stock 16" wheel, but the main thing is I want a five spoke bronze wheel. I see that Enkei makes one, but again, I don't know which ones will fit. If anybody happens to have a bronzemetallic GP out there with bronze wheels on it, I'd sure appreciate seeing some pics. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Try ebay search for 18inch wheels 5x115 theres a set of bronze 5 spokes labeled st4s they mite be what your lookin for.

The only 18 inch bronze wheels I could find on E-Bay were 4 bolt wheels. But thanks anyway for replying to my post.

hub bore: 70.3mm or bigger

width: less than 9" wide

offset: between +35mm and +45mm

tires: 235 or 245 wide tires with a sidewall that matches stock overall diameter


if you follow that they should fit no problem.

Thanks very much for the help. I'll see if I can finally find some wheels and tires that fit all those parameters.

What about 05+ Subaru sti gold bbs wheels? They are a 114.3 lug pattern.

Ti Wheels
There are 18x8.5 114.3 in gold with a 40mm offset and a 45mm offset

worst case. Buy some rims and get them powdercoated

Yes, I've checked out the Enkei five spoke and thanks, that powder coating is a great idea!

I'm really looking for bronze more than the gold, but thanks for replying.

I'm not sure what wheels you're referring to. As for clearing the calipers, I am a real rookie here and wouldn't even know how to go about doing that, but thanks anyhow.

I'm really interested in the bronze and not the gold, but thanks for replying.

I'd already checked those out, but thanks for the suggestion.

I didn't see anything in there in bronze, but thanks for taking time to reply. I think what I really need is for somebody with a 2007 Grand Prix to say I have these specific bronze wheels with these specific tires and they fit my car perfectly. That way I know a particular wheel and tire combination will fit with no problems. Guess that's too much to hope for?

Define "a bunch". ;+) Seriously, I've seen some nice bronze wheels out there for around $150.00 each. Then I figure around $100.00 per new tire, so about a grand for four new wheels and tires. Does that sound reasonable?

OK, now at least I know what you mean by "a bunch of money". No, I will definitely not be spending a bunch of money for these new wheels and tires. My problem is after I've had them on for six months or so I may even want a different car. ;+)
