W bodies with the Wrong stock wheels


Recommended Posts

Yeah, They've honestly grown on me. Should take them off soon seeing as they aren't mine. :lol:

 

MAKE MORE....

there's an idea: group buy for brand new crosslaces... now who knows a company that'll do it?

Posted

If I'm buying new ones, I want 17x9's w/ a +25 offset....maybe +18

 

265/50 tire FTW!!!!!!!!!!!

i'll definitly agree with 17" diameter, anything bigger and it starts to look like a ricer wheel...

 

i don't know about width of offset, can we tuck those under most W's?

Posted

yeah.

 

the +20 would bring it out to the wheel well a bit, and give space for the Trailing Arms's in the rear

Posted

they won't stick out to the point of needing a B4U to cover them up top will they?

Posted

i would think 2 different versions might cover it, 1 for the gen1s and another for the 2nd gens(and the 1.5s should fit somewhere), they do have different offsets/widths or something right?

When I got the Jalopy I'm driving now I thought the front drivers wheel was a gold one, but it was just really rusty.

i could have sworn that i saw a regal with lumina rims on the side of the highway on my way back home from the Dayton meet.

I let a wheel bearing get a bit too bad on my old 94 Cutlass, the wheel on that hub got so hot it started turning a bronze color. It did go away eventually, the wheels were in pretty bad shape by then anyways.

I put the ten hole wheels from my Cutty on a '99 Lumina for temporary use. Didn't look bad.

Posted

yhat cheapens the look 100%, that look slike shit

 

I agree completely. I threw them on to test fit them before lugging them all the way to Dayton in the trunk.

Not a W-body, or even w-body rims, but they are Bonneville rims, and it fits in the spirit of things:

Those are my 01 Bonneville rims that my dad used on his 04 Accord for winter rims. Not sure if he'll run them this year, or i will sell them cause he got some stock accord 16" rims for it now.

 

Also have a picture of my 00 Regal with Gold crosslaces and my mother's 03 Impala with them. Those wheels were whores. They were bought as take offs, used on my 93 SSE, used on the above cars, also used on the back of my 98 LTZ (didn't clear the caliper on the front), and used on my 93 SSEi. I think I still might have them at my parents too.
