W bodies with the Wrong stock wheels


Recommended Posts

i sold a set of 96 monte 5 spokes to a guy with a 93 prix and they looked like shit on his car especially with the center cap having the bowtie

Posted

^^^^ yeah it would definitely be hard to get around the bowties on those wheels since they're integrated into the plastic. the 98-99 z34 wheels you could paint over them or get a decal.

not only that but they just looked horrific thats why i took them off my monte in the first place, and then to go and put them on a prix. no good at all

Posted

Whoa!

 

I'm not positive it's an International, but definitely a maroon on maroon(leather) 3.4 coupe with 5 spokes.

 

I'm pretty sure 5 spokes were convertible and I-Series only...Have you noticed if it has a lip spoiler?

 

Yep, it had a lip spoiler!

Definitely an International then. And for sure 1 of less than 10. Since something like 600 Internationals were made, most were white or bright red or blue or black with graphite interiors.

Hmm...sweet, next time I see it I'll steal it. Or at least get some pictures!

was there really a reason to bump this considering the last post was only 2 hours before :lol:

read his post a little closer :lol:

 

and i disagree about that monte...i normally hate wrong stock wheels but i have to say those look hot on that

oh sorry here you are: stevespics066.jpg

Intersting pic to me...gives me an idea what my Bonnie 17's will look like in the spring, at least in terms of size...and unpainted to match the car. My rear stance will be wider though, and I'll be running 235/55R17 which will fill out the wheel wells much better than this jalopy.

Those wheels don't look half bad.

 

92-93 CS International's are very rare. Pretty tough to find.

dont be hating on my jalopy the car sold for 2 grand without the wheels and stereo. (it was a pos)but i loved it, pleather, rear buckets, dic, full power everything

The two Luminas I had were stock with hubcaps. At one point I attempted to fit trim rings and Impala police center caps on it but it brought the fail. Put the hubcaps back on when I got rid of mine, my wife's I never messed with.

 

I see many 1.5gen Luminas with 1st gen Euro wheels on them. Also have seen Lumina Euro wheels on Regals, Grand Prixs, and Grand Ams. Hate seeing that. Some wheels interchange well, some really don't. I wish I had a picture of a car I saw that made me throw up a little in my mouth.

yesir, SLP upper and lower

 

as far as the wheels, my 03 was an LS didnt come with those wheels

Saw a green Bonneville with first gen GP five spokes today. They actually didn't look that out of place.

if they were 1G 5 spokes they probably stuck out way too far due to the offset

Posted

Will you PM me more pics of that 03 Monte... I dunno why but I keep looking at it thinking its a Regal

Possibly, but it was stopped and I was doing 40 MPH. I couldn't tell either way from my vantage point.

Got your PM... I guess its just that angle and the grille that made it look like a Regal... If it wasnt for the buldge in the headlight I never would have known
