Re: New wheels on the Gxp
They're nice wheels in their own right, just not sure if they have the visual mass to compliment the size and the visual weight of the car...
If you like them, that's all that matters though.

Re: New wheels on the Gxp
I am afraid I am in the same boat here. They look thin and wiry. Bonnevilles typically look better with wheels that have a bit more substance00Beast wrote:They're nice wheels in their own right, just not sure if they have the visual mass to compliment the size and the visual weight of the car...

Re: New wheels on the Gxp
I agree with 00beast at a comparison the dimensions are way off but If you dig em then roll on good buddy! all in all the paint on them was a good choice is it Gunmetal gray?

Re: New wheels on the Gxp
Yeah, I agree. I am kind of iffy with it. I kinda like it though, the color is perfect. I think the tires (IMO) should have a little more meat on em. But it is your car. Different styles for different people. I do like the rim though, and nice car!00Beast wrote:They're nice wheels in their own right, just not sure if they have the visual mass to compliment the size and the visual weight of the car...

Re: New wheels on the Gxp
Looks like a modern version of the GXP wheel if Pontiac survived. Looks great!

Re: New wheels on the Gxp
I absolutely love it, one of very few wheels I would take over GXP wheels. Very nice choice and actually opposite many others, I think they fit perfect.

Re: New wheels on the Gxp
Thanks everyone for their feedback, I knew some wouldn't like and some would. I have these wheels in black on my Mustang and just liked them soo much, I decided to get some for the wife.

Re: New wheels on the Gxp
Nice. They definitely work on the Mustang. The GXP wheels look really good on the Regal too.

Re: New wheels on the Gxp
I think they look fantastic on both cars.
Ive been referencing the Mustang to try to find wheels for my car. Do the wheels on both cars have the same specs(offset, hub dia, bolt circle, etc)? Or are they both specific to each car? Just trying to see if my cross referencing is doing me any good.

Re: New wheels on the Gxp
I think it looks amazing!
The Regal looks great too with the GXPs.
