Well my tri-spokes have seen their better days. And my tires have turned into slicks. I'm upgrading to some new 19in rims. Now here's where I need your help. What size tires should I get for these? These are the ones I'm looking at...
http://firstchoicewheelsandtires.com/?p ... &item=4382 Also what size if I ended up going with the 18's? Oh and if anybody knows what all the stock specs of our 16in rims our that'd be great? Thanks!! Edit: This is for the 96 SSEi btw

As we discussed on the phone. I'd say 19s. If you can try, I think it would really set the car off.
Still not sure on gold though. Paging Dr. Booze.

Hmm I could try to PS this for you later. I'm not sure if I'm a fan of this particular wheel design.
As for the tire sizes, I'm looking at 19's as well, likely going with 255/40 R19 rubber. I expected a thin selection for tires when I was looking, but there's actually plenty of choices for this size.

FYI, although you love the 19s you found, tires are alot more expensive than anything 18" or 20"...just my 2 cents.

Was JUST doing some pricing on my wheels for my G8, it's going to be $80 cheaper for tires for my Camaro wheels than for my OEM 19's. However, I then have to buy TPMS sensors, etc, so it's a little more. Still deciding what I want...

I say 18s are the perfect size for a 92-99 Bonneville. Even 17" swoopies look amazing on them!

Or 17" GP wheels.
I'm not sure on the design either, but you know my preference when it comes to wheels, I prefer OEM or near OEM designs. Could look good though. But as said 19" tires are expensive compared to 18 or 20s.

17 is too small for 92-99, sure it looks better than factory, but nonetheless. 18s look good, but 19s are awesome. I can't wait to see what Ryan comes up with.

Not sure on the gold, but the more I look at it... Lol But great looking photoshops booze.
I like that style wheel though. You're gonna need to lower it Ryan.

I opened them up in new tabs on Imgur. That's how it worked for me.

Thanks, that worked. They look pretty decent! Better than I thought they would.

Oh my god! That looks amazing! Thanks Booze!!! I'm still weighing out a few other options, but now I'm really leaning towards these haha. Thanks for the input, I'll keep you guys updated. Sorry I haven't gotten back sooner, I've switched jobs again and work about 60 hours a week now.

I like it! Though I'm biased towards gold (aaaaaaand you'll see why!).

But yeah, now that I see them chopped on the car, I kinda dig em. BUT one thing that keeps tricking my eye is the outer edge of the rim makes it look like it has whitewall tires.

Probably wouldn't in person, but still.
