eclipse5302 Posted June 9, 2003 Report Share Posted June 9, 2003 I just picked up a set of Bridgestone Potenza RE910s, 245/50-R16. These are kinda big for my standard STE Turbo rims, 6.5 inches wide. I was thinking of getting a set of rims from a TGP (crosslace, 8- inches wide) and painting them maroon in the center. Anybody think that would look good/bad?

twalt13 Posted June 9, 2003 Report Share Posted June 9, 2003 Jason - Been there - done that 8) . Does not look right. The best solution I found (close to factory) was a set of 5-spoke (white) rims off of an 94 GTP. The TGP rims didnt look good to me - on maroon it might look better. Just put new Kellys on mine - still had the origonal Goodyears As always - "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" Thomas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOHC_WBody Posted June 9, 2003 Report Share Posted June 9, 2003 I actually found the closest wheels on Shawn's TGP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no1kicker Posted June 9, 2003 Report Share Posted June 9, 2003 Hey twalt, do you have those wheels on your STE now? And if so, any pics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twalt13 Posted June 9, 2003 Report Share Posted June 9, 2003 Just got back from Iraq, Have a set of 3, 5 spoke polished in my garage, will put on in a month or so...need to spend some quality family time. Was getting the white ones when a totaled 94 GTP came in the J/Y with the polished ones....$25.00 pr rim Twalt13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TurboSedan Posted June 9, 2003 Report Share Posted June 9, 2003 are you putting those on the CS or the TSTE? i LOVE the 16x8 GTP crosslace wheels on my car - they put the wheels completely even with the body of the car and don't stick out one bit. IMO it gave it an 'i'm on steroids' look that 25mm offset probably helps handling too. i'm going to get some 225/55's soon (someday). the pic in my sig has 60-series tires. i'm afraid if i go to a 245/50 tire it will stick out too much. and my car is lowered so it would probably rub too. oh well. later joshua Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclipse5302 Posted June 10, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2003 The wheels are going on my TSTE. I used to own a set that were on my Cutlass, and they looked pretty cool. I think the 5 star wheels would look good, but they are only 6.5 inches wide (I think). I'd be where I'm at now. I found some pics I took of the first TSTE I ever saw. It had the crosslace wheels on it. It did look pretty mean. I think I'll give the crosslace wheels a try...it won't cost me anything. It sure is nice having connections at the yard and tire place... Thanks for the feedback guys! Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
