ZacksZ34 Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 Okay heres the deal my buddy told me the junkyard up the road has a few w-bodies up there and i was thinkin about going up there just to see what they had for rims on them, Cause Im really gettin sick of lookin at the damn wheels that are on it. I know i should be more worried about gettin all the shit fixed thats wrong with but my lumina will be goin off the road at the end of july so i can do the repairs. Anyhow i was thinkin about gettin a set of x-laces of either a gran prix or a bonneville if theres any up there with em and paintin the centers black just to make my car look a lil bit better. And I was wondering if the x-laces look good on z34 luminas or not????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stockgp Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 i think black laces would be hot on a black lumi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3.1cutlass Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 You cannot use bonneville x-laces Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZacksZ34 Posted June 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 You cannot use bonneville x-laces oh ok then ill look for some gp x-laces Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mra32 Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 I'm partial to x-laces on sedans. Note mine and Gutless Supreme's sigs. Luminas do look good with them, however, I think gold would look better on a black car than black centers Note: I am told that bonneville x-laces will not clear the calipers on w-bodies. If you look at them, the outer lip on them are a little smaller than the W-body ones. If you wanna polish the lips then its a little tedious, but you seem to be fairly meticulous about your car care. They do look awesome, I'm sure youve seen all the threads where people polish them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euro Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 I don't know, IMO they don't fit well with the Z34 gfx. They stick out, and make it look too "offroad" ish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GP1138 Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 I would love to see either gold or black, or even silver on a black Z34. I think those three colors would look pretty tits on your car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5speedz34 Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 They stick out. Look at White93Z34's car. They don't look to bad, I think the fact that they stick out fill the tire well more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slick Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 There's a red Z34 running around Toledo with red RPE crosslace's on his car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mra32 Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 They fill the rear wheelwells perfectly, especially with 225/60's on there. Hopefully, i'm getting fender flares for the fronts though. THE SAME ONES JUICEDLUMINA HAD!!! There was a pic of a black euro lumina with silver crosslaces posted before. I think it was a sedan. He was totally sagging in the back though.

Z34-5speed Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 I really like the look of the stock Z34 wheels, as long as they are the 93+ years, the ones with the black background, not the silver background. If you could find a set of the 93+ Euro/Z34 wheels at a yard (shouldn't be too hard to find) IMO those would look better than the x-laces.

Breakdown Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Just out of curiousity where are you? I might have a set to unload. I have a pair of sets now, I'm hopping to get the second set on this week, they have 245/50ZR16s on them. I want to see how I like the ride with the lower profile rims, and the car lowered about half an inch all around. I'm still considering keeping my current rims for restoration, was thinking of blacking them out, but then masking the black (and polished lip) and going red on the inside, kinda like RPE rims, but I really, really hate those (I've never seen them in person, but in pictures it just looks stupid). Not to hyjack the thread, but does anyone know minimums and maximums for tire width on the X-laces? I'm assuming that 225 is a minimum, but where do they max out? 255? 265?

wildbill Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 I don't think they look good at all. I like the stockers, or the five spokes Euro had on his Lumi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hal H Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 If you get the 94 - 96 GP xlaces, they're 6.5" x 16" and would fit w/o sticking out. This is the same width as the stock Z34 wheels. The '93 and earlier GP x-laces 8"x16"s have a different offset. The B4U trim wheel flares conceal the protrusion from the stock fenders (especially the fronts). I'd suggest black or dark grey centers with the black paint and the garnet interior you have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White93z34 Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 not sure where you got that information Hal, but my crosslaces are off a 94' gp and they are 16*8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5speedz34 Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 All 1st gen GP crosslaces are the same. Just different manufactures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breakdown Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 not sure where you got that information Hal, but my crosslaces are off a 94' gp and they are 16*8 I will confirm the same, maybe he's thinking of the Bonneville ones or something with a different offset. BTW - I have Crosslaces (factory ones from a '91 GTP and a '95 SE) they are identical in size. ZacksZ34, I'm in Kitchener Ontario, I get close to you on occasion, but that seems a little far for these values of rims. I'll pass for now, still not 100% sure what I'm doing anyhow.
