Need some feedback on "new" rims...


DiscoStudd

Which rims would look best:  

  1. 1. Which rims would look best:

    • Grand Prix 5-Spoke rim
    • Cutty 5-Spoke rim
    • Monte 5-spoke rim
    • Stay stock-looking and go with the Grand Sport rim


Recommended Posts

Alright, I'm thinking about hitting up the boneyards for some stock 16" rims for my Regal. I don't really want to go with the Grand Sport 16 inchers 'cause they look almost identical to the 15's I have on my car now. I think either the GP or Cutty 5-Spoke rims would look better, IMHO. I realize Gen 2 W rims won't fit properly, so they're out of the question entirely. I would appreciate some feedback as to what y'all think would look best on my car.

 

EDIT: Thanks to rudefyet and bluegp for the PhotoChops!

 

Option 1:

Grand Prix 5-Spoke (silver)

 

Option 2:

Cutlass Supreme 5-Spoke

 

Option 3:

98-99 Monte Carlo/Lumina LTZ 5-Spoke (I had the older Monte style up here earlier, and this type was suggested. I like these better.)

 

Option 4:

Regal Grand Sport 16's

 

Thanks to everyone for the feedback!

I just found this:

:shock: It looks like the GP rims have "Pontiac" engraved on one of the spokes!

 

Can anyone who has these rims confirm this?

 

Damn, I really like those rims, too. I guess I'm leaning more towards the Cutty rims now since they don't have a brand name engraved in them. Is there hope that I might find a set of GP rims without the "Pontiac" somewhere?

I don't have those rims, but I've searched for some to try to find a nice 4 set, but my searched turn up with nothing. And yes they do have the Pontiac on one rim. Not sure if ALL of those types of rims do or not.

The Monte wheels are totally ugly.

 

I'm not sure about the GP wheels... they have a "sharper" look to them and the Regal is more of a rounder shaped car. I think the Cutlass wheels might look okay but I can't tell by that photoshop too well.

 

Undecided..

The '94-'96 ones say Pontiac. The '97-up don't (and they're shaped slightly different), but they have a different offset.

Here's another wheel you may consider. They came on '98-up 1.5 gen Montes & Luminas. The '00-up 2nd gen W wheel looks similar (spokes are not as wide), but has a different offset.

Nice! Maybe I should change the Monte rims I have in the poll to those...

 

89-92 GS wheels

Are these the ones you speak of?
