THe_DeTAiL3R Posted September 24, 2006 Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 17's may not cost that much, but you still gotta add another $500 or whatever for tires, and I can't even afford to put new tires on my car.... rich boy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TurboSedan Posted September 24, 2006 Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 yeah the only reason i'm considering it is because i already have them. i'd really like 17s or possibly 18s for the Regal but i'm broke as a joke right now. also, there aren't many aftermarket wheels that i've seen that i really like. i kinda want something with a charcoal finish (yeah, some consider it trendy but whatever) i think charcoal would match the lower body color nicely. i definately don't want aftermarket wheels on the Cutlass.

Crazy K Posted September 24, 2006 Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 Yes i was. sorry guys. The rims on the pic of my lumina were on loan from my 95 CS. I got those rims from a 93 olds 98. They are 16x8 and run a 225/60r16 they fit my cars fine, EXCEPT for the actual car they are on now, my 95. which required very slight grinding on the caliper brackets to gain clearance, since they have the larger front rotor. come to think of it, I do not know if they will clear the OEM 93- calipers as i have discarded every 93- rear brake I have. thought I would bring these rims to your attention and see what you think.

black_97_ls Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 sweet. Tirerack doesnt have those wheels I like the wheels on it. What color is the car gonna be (Lumina)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastbird232 Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 You know, call me crazy, but I'd rather put a set of decent factory rims on a car than any set of aftermarket rims. I mean, I've passed up a couple sets of nice rims because I don't think anything would look better on the Grand Am than a set of torque stars.
