    What do you think of these on a 2004+ GP? I have them on my 93 Old's and they look magical.

    They're a 17in I was going to put them on one side of my GP tomorrow and see how it looks. I have been trying to find the GXP wheels from a Bonnie or a GP and I just LOL at the prices, I could get an aftermarket clone for 2/3rds the price junk yards want.

    would an 18in wheel be an issue with the car being lowered? Rubbing/increasing ground clearance again?

    nope, lots of people run 18s and are lowered without issues. it will depend on the offset/width of the wheel and tires you are running if you will rub, but most have no issues if they run a 'normal' sized wheel/tire combo.

    it's people like me that attempt running weird setups and just deal with the rubbing over bumps.

    Depends on the width and offset. 17s don't look too bad on these cars. But I think the design of the wheel will make them look smaller than 17s.

    In the end though I say if it's between those and the stock 16s I'd go with the Aztecs all day long

    Stock rims are pretty terrible unless they came from something really expensive. And even then your better off with aftermarket.

    He drove it??? Judging by the dry pavement all around in that pic I would guess that snow isn't as hard to get out from.
