Bonneville GXP Wheels on Late Model Grand Prix

Post by harrydunn »

Hey guys, quick question. Is there any reason that my GXP wheels would not be a good fit on a 2004 and newer Grand Prix? I know the late model Grand Prix GXP's are running 18's but wanted to make sure the Bonneville 18" rims are compatible. :wink:

Thanks.

yes there are lots of GP's that have the Bonneville GXP wheels on. actually there are more Gp's that have Bonneville GXP wheels than NON GXP Bonnevilles. I can think of 6 different members on GP sites that have them off the top of my head

Yeah, GXP wheels disappear from salvage yards destined for installation on a Grand Prix more often than for replacement on Bonneville GXP's.
Literally -if you check http://www.car-part.com you'll find 1 or 2 rims. I've been checking there for a friend who wants them for his GTP and I haven't seen more than 2 rims listed in a LONG time.

EDIT -whoa!! There WERE only 2 listed on Wednesday when I last checked. Check again sometime later this week and you'll see some of these places removing their listing.

They would not be for my Bonneville. I've got a set of the Bonneville GXP wheels. I'm considering trading up to a 04-08 Grand Prix and would either put my GXP wheels on it or the Grand Prix GXP rims. Might buy them and store them for a while until I decide what to do.

As I recall you need to run lower profile tires on them to clear the strut but that is it for fitment issues
