X-laces on a 94 Cutlass Vert?

I was looking for some 94-96 gp 5-spokes but found these instead. They were charcoal but I painted them duplicolor Siver with clearcoat. I should mention these are my winter tires and wheels. The rears have a 3/16" spacer installed.

I'm sure a couple members will be clamoring for those if you decide to give them up after winter. Myself Included. Those wheels look like they are in fantastic condition

There is one that has a nick on the lip and all have rub marks from the old lever style tire mounting machine.

They do look a lot better than I thought they would. I did not like them at all when they were charcoal.

I would gladly trade them for a nice set of 94-96 5 spokes. I have one person in Loveland Co. semi-interested in the trade, but I have my doughts.

I realized my friends 1995 byp Grand prix, has 1997-2000 5 stars

 

Sorry, I know this is an old quote, but can you explain how your friend accomplished this?

With spacers and longer studs on the front it can be done very easily... I had torque stars on my 93 Gp

I have to bring this thread back to life as I was searching for 06+ Impalas and found this one.

white 2007 Impala with 00-05 Impala 5-spoke wheels (look like 94-96 Impala SS but are 16")

 

I like it. In fact I would like it very much in Imperial blue or a dark gray or black with a bench front seat. This particular car has 130K and is for sale for $5995 at a Ford dealer in Alliance, OH. At least it's a bench seat car, but white isn't my first choice for a newer Impala. Would be great on a '65, though.

Anyone see the season finale of Dexter? He flips a second-gen GP with Impala wheel covers on it (you can clearly see the bowtie in a closeup).

Were the spacers on the rear necessary? I'm thinking of doing the same thing.

i did. that car was kind funny.... it ran really well for a car with no gas tank or exhaust, or for that matter... engine or transmission.

Ive seen them on several 4 doors. Usually they are on 3.4 cars, but not always.

Mine supposedly has the wrong wheels.

94 GTP with the 5 spoke.

3.4 engine automatic

Yeah 5 spokes started in 95. Your car probably had the X-laces from the factory.

Yeah I would take the 5 spoke any day. Easier to keep clean and just look better.

I don't know how they ended up on my car though I have no history on the thing.
