DiscoStudd Posted July 30, 2004 Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 Alright, I'm thinking about hitting up the boneyards for some stock 16" rims for my Regal. I don't really want to go with the Grand Sport 16 inchers 'cause they look almost identical to the 15's I have on my car now. I think either the GP or Cutty 5-Spoke rims would look better, IMHO. I realize Gen 2 W rims won't fit properly, so they're out of the question entirely. I would appreciate some feedback as to what y'all think would look best on my car. EDIT: Thanks to rudefyet and bluegp for the PhotoChops! Option 1: Grand Prix 5-Spoke (silver) Option 2: Cutlass Supreme 5-Spoke Option 3: 98-99 Monte Carlo/Lumina LTZ 5-Spoke (I had the older Monte style up here earlier, and this type was suggested. I like these better.) Option 4: Regal Grand Sport 16's Thanks to everyone for the feedback! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiscoStudd Posted July 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 Thanks for that PhotoChop, rudefyet! I'm kinda diggin the look of the GP rims more now that I've seen what they'll look like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GutlessSupreme Posted July 30, 2004 Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 the regal and monte wheels are nasty.. I voted GP but them or the Cutlass ones would look good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EurosportZ34 Posted July 30, 2004 Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 It's either the Cutty or GP rims....I think GP would be best, but that's just cause I like 'em the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiscoStudd Posted July 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 I just found this: :shock: It looks like the GP rims have "Pontiac" engraved on one of the spokes! Can anyone who has these rims confirm this? Damn, I really like those rims, too. I guess I'm leaning more towards the Cutty rims now since they don't have a brand name engraved in them. Is there hope that I might find a set of GP rims without the "Pontiac" somewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EurosportZ34 Posted July 30, 2004 Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 Can anyone who has these rims confirm this? I don't have those rims, but I've searched for some to try to find a nice 4 set, but my searched turn up with nothing. And yes they do have the Pontiac on one rim. Not sure if ALL of those types of rims do or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R Dubya Posted July 30, 2004 Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 Everyone that I've seen, including the set on my TGP have them. Find a set that needs some paint and fill it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THe_DeTAiL3R Posted July 30, 2004 Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 The Monte wheels are totally ugly. I'm not sure about the GP wheels... they have a "sharper" look to them and the Regal is more of a rounder shaped car. I think the Cutlass wheels might look okay but I can't tell by that photoshop too well. Undecided.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIKELABZ Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 CUTTY RIMS. the only ones without some sort of nametag on them describing what car they came off of.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goph Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 the Monte look ugly The GP rims do say Pontiac on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluegp Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 :shock: It looks like the GP rims have "Pontiac" engraved on one of the spokes! Can anyone who has these rims confirm this? The '94-'96 ones say Pontiac. The '97-up don't (and they're shaped slightly different), but they have a different offset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluegp Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 Here's another wheel you may consider. They came on '98-up 1.5 gen Montes & Luminas. The '00-up 2nd gen W wheel looks similar (spokes are not as wide), but has a different offset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian P Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 89-92 GS wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
