OK I posted about this on the Grand prix forum but didn't get any where so I'm seeking the opinion from others who don't drive GP's
of the wheels pictured which ones do think would look best on my GTP

The price of them are all about the same, and I'm going with 18's which will be 2 inches bigger than the ones on my car in my sig.

Thanks for the help inadvance

I just got off the phone with Big Bear and he described them as they look like 2000 and newer C5 wheels so I might go with those.

The 4th ones polished or something would look killer. otherwise go with the "c5" ones. #3 looks like a turck wheel.

Your second one you posted looks too much like a mustang wheel (02 or 03 Cobra I believe)

The last ones do sort of look like the rims on Fred's car only in 6spoke not 7. Those would prob be ok also.

Well as far as performance goes I use a separate set of light weight wheels with slicks for the track and the weight of these wheels is between 14-16 pounds so they don't weigh much, close to stock wheel weight. And I can run wider low profile tires so I'll get better handling. Adams wheels are bad ass but I don't know how much they cost or weigh. These are all center line wheels and are forged aluminum wheels. I gues it comes down to the C5 look a likes or the six spokes in HI-PO finish. Hopefully Jeff gets the vette so I get his wheels:thumbsup

Thanks for the input guys, this place is much more helpfull than clubgp:thumbsup

Im not talkin weight i am talkin revolution per minute like a 10 speed big 27inch wheel compared to the 20 inch on a BMX the bigger wheel will take longer to complete a revolution due to size and will slow your 1/4 mile down !! so is it stricly show or go!!

on the street its both show and go, at the track its GO GO I have a separate set of light weight 16's with slicks I use for the 1/4 mile. These wheels will not be on the car when I race so it doesn't matter. But the fact that they are light weight will help in the occasional street kill:D
