cutlass1991 Posted April 27, 2009 Report Posted April 27, 2009 There is a guy selling a set of 18" eagle 077s with 245/45/18 tires for $550. They are currently mounted on a 2003 Grand Prix. He does not know the offset. Is there any chance they will fit onto my 97 cutlass supreme sedan? I spent a while searching but didn't come up with a definitive answer. Quote
GOT2B GM Posted April 27, 2009 Report Posted April 27, 2009 they will be +38mm and yes they will fit Quote

GOT2B GM Posted April 30, 2009 Report Posted April 30, 2009 I'd rather have the 245-40-18's, but I think thats a matter of preference and a couple MPH difference on the speedo. Quote
Cully77 Posted April 30, 2009 Report Posted April 30, 2009 I'm pretty sure I'm watching those on ebay too, if that's where you see them. Tried to get him to sell early and ship, but looks like he made the right decision to let it go. Quote
Addicted2bass Posted April 30, 2009 Report Posted April 30, 2009 They were on ebay if its the ones im thinking of. In Ohio, there was a pic of the guys GP it was a red 4-door. They sold for $550 i think. I was thinking about buying them, im about 4 hours away and could have picker em up. But i snoozed on the auction and they sold. Quote
cutlass1991 Posted May 8, 2009 Author Report Posted May 8, 2009 Yes, they were the ones on ebay. I didn't end up buying them.. I did some searching and got linked to a thread on GPclub where he was trying to unload them for $450. So I searched that forum, and he had other threads about how to polish aluminum and remove scratches.. Turns out all 4 rims were curbed and scratched up. Who knows if they were bent or what.... So after finding that information out, and reading a thread on here where kuntzie mentioned the 077s + power = death to input shafts, I decided it was in my best interest to steer clear.. I still like the 077s, and there is a guy on ebay that has a brand new chrome set of 17" with a 38mm offset for $625 + shipping. I kinda wanted 18", but maybe I could live with 17s? who knows..., You guys think that is a fair price for new 17" chrome 077s? Quote
xtremerevolution Posted May 8, 2009 Report Posted May 8, 2009 Isn't chrome heavier than a standard aluminum finish, thus increasing unwanted unsprung weight? Quote
slick Posted May 8, 2009 Report Posted May 8, 2009 Isn't chrome heavier than a standard aluminum finish, thus increasing unwanted unsprung weight? The chrome itself isn't very heavy. It's the fact that most chrome wheels are steel, because it doesn't stick to aluminum too awful well. Quote

jeremy Posted May 8, 2009 Report Posted May 8, 2009 I'd keep looking for 18s. And fwiw I don't think the 077s were the cause of kuntzie's problems I would give that credit to the HP of the car and his driving habits. Quote
