Post by swampthing »

For the awesome deal I just scored. I am sitting in a steak n shake after visiting a fellow on Craigslist who had this listing
18'' 2004 Pontiac Bonneville Rims
I met him made an offer and loaded them in the car.

No pics but they are the only 18" Bonneville wheels if you catch my drift.

Let's have some fun...how much did I pay for them? Andrew can't guess

Lots of good guesses but
ga93sle wrote:$150
is the only one that is too low. Dude that was selling them had no clue how rare they were. he said they took them off shortly after buying the car and then sold it with the new wheels on it, he had them listed for $175 I offered $150 we settled on $160. So now I have a full set of gxp wheels for $40 a wheel :banana: now I need lugs so if someone could show me what gxp lugs look like and where to get them that would be great

Edit: here is some proof just in case anybody wants some

Your stock 12 x 1.5 cone seat SSEi lugs will work just fine. The GXP got the shiny caps, not sure what the SSEi's had.

I put my caps aside and run chrome lugs that I got for $1 a piece...

I would buy some nice McGard chrome lugs or something like that. Stock lugs are just meh for those wheels.

I don't have my stock lugs anymore except for enough to run my spare. I have open ended tuner lugs behind the center cap on my current wheels. My moms grand prix gt has chrome lugs I wonder if they would work

Any chrome 1/2"x20 conical seat lug will work. I got mine off eBay for like $20 a couple years ago...

You got a helluva steal there.
I had been watching for a decent deal on a set for a couple years since I sold my gunmetal set a couple years back -you might consider doing a graphite/gunmetal coat on them -maybe some Plastidipp if they have that in a graphite. I kinda doubt it as it probably doesn't come in metallic yet.
