Welcome Toddster! I had a '97 SSE, my first Bonneville. I remember it well, loved how different the wheels were.

Thanks for the welcome!

I had a 97 to, it was pretty nice green with tan leather. Had the 9 spoke rims.

Loving your GXP!

Which green? Mine was that bluish green, but I know that had a dark forest green too. I had the 3 'spoke' wheels. Well heck, I guess you could call them 9 spokes. 3 sets of 3, right? No other way to describe them, they were just unique. I like the wheels that my '02 had, and I really like the flangeless ones on the GXP, but 5 spoke wheels are starting to get a little too common. I've had 5 spoke OEM wheels on a half dozen cars now.

Thanks Gumball !

Yeah I had the forest green, and now that you mention it....they where the 3 spokes. Your green looked much better imo...
