ManicMechanic Posted February 19, 2012 Report Posted February 19, 2012 I just bought a set of nice first gen Grand Prix 5-spokes for $100 like AL pictured a couple comments above, to put on my '95 Oldsmobile convertible. I plan on replacing the black "ABS" centercaps with the red Oldsmobile rocket centercaps from my stock wheels (if they fit), which have winter tires on them and clearcoat problems. Anyway, it'll look funny with the word "Pontiac" on the spoke right next to the Oldsmobile center cap. I wonder how many people will notice or care? But I think the lower offset and wider wheels will look better in the wheel well. I couldn't find any clean Cutlass wheels for cheap. I'll post pictures in a few weeks when I buy tires and the weather warms up so I can take my snow tires off. I did this...The caps do fit. Quote

GOT2B GM Posted February 29, 2012 Report Posted February 29, 2012 Seriously please remove those awful bumpstrips Sam. Quote
Go4DaMo Posted April 3, 2012 Report Posted April 3, 2012 thanks! and I don't have a heat gun, Matt! Quote
oldmangrimes Posted April 3, 2012 Report Posted April 3, 2012 Here's a close-up pic of the 1st gen GP 5-spokes I put on my 95 vert. I swapped the rocket centercaps over, so now I have Oldsmobile/Pontiac wheels. Both brands are dead, so I figure it's ok. I wasn't sure how to orient the rocket relative to the spoke that has "Pontiac" on it. Quote

urbex Posted April 3, 2012 Report Posted April 3, 2012 Couldn't get a pic, and it wasn't a w-body... But I saw a 97-99 LeSabre today with 1.5 gen Lumina hubcaps on it... Quote
ManicMechanic Posted April 18, 2012 Report Posted April 18, 2012 Yeeuuuccckkk That's what I said when I saw them... Quote
LuminaPower92 Posted April 19, 2012 Report Posted April 19, 2012 any pics of that vert with crosslaces? Quote
Euro Posted April 19, 2012 Report Posted April 19, 2012 No pics cause I couldn't reach my phone in time(and because it was a cop lol) but I passed a county sheriff in my neighborhood in an unmarked Impala riding on these Park Avenue wheels Quote
base93lumina Posted April 21, 2012 Report Posted April 21, 2012 Not sure if i posted yet, but im rocking the Monte LS/LTZ wheels on my 93. Ive done this once before and i always did like the look of it. I think it adds that little sporty look to the car Quote
94 olds vert Posted April 21, 2012 Report Posted April 21, 2012 I like it. They do make it look a little more sporty. Quote

94 olds vert Posted April 21, 2012 Report Posted April 21, 2012 That car should have saw blades on it. Quote
ManicMechanic Posted April 22, 2012 Report Posted April 22, 2012 Is it a Canadian car? Those were actually put on some Canadian '92s. Quote
94 olds vert Posted April 22, 2012 Report Posted April 22, 2012 Nope found it for sale in states. I guess it's possible it could be from Canada. Quote
ManicMechanic Posted April 22, 2012 Report Posted April 22, 2012 The way to tell is that the VIN will be 1G3WT31 instead of 1G3WT34. Quote
