Guys,
Can anybody give me another outlet too look at factory chrome rims from GM other than Ebay ? Most of the rims on there are SO high priced. Or maybe I am just cheap, I don't know. Anyway, I am looking for a set of 16" chromes for my 95. Buick, Olds, Pontiac, Caddy...anything would work..I just want some chrome. Let me know.

I really like the way Scotty's Bonneville rims look on his Aurora (chrome). Mine are from a Bonneville as well however they are 17's
Have you considered 2nd gen Aurora 3.5 rims like Dan (Custom88) has?

I have considered some Bonneville Wheels, 1st or 2nd Gen Aurorora's and many others. Where are some good places to look, other than Ebay ? Any suggestions on where to find some used wheels for a reasonable price ?

Check your local scrap yards, if you've got any in your area. Of course the inventory is always changing, so you have to go back often. A member at BonnevilleClub got chrome 5-spokes from a wrecked 2002-3 SLE for her 94 (I think) SSE, and paid ~$300 with almost-new mounted tires included!

Always helps to checkout www.craigslist.org - quick check every day for some chrome rims.. who knows, near a big city they might just pop up and it only takes a couple minutes to browse the listings. VERY good prices, too. |

If you want to go the cheap route, though, I'd suggest buying used factory chrome rims. If you buy cheap re-chromed rims, the chroming probably won't last very well (which is why they are cheap).

Almost got set of 4 chromes from a 96 on ebay. 1 of the center caps was missing though, they are easy to get on ebay for like 15 bucks. I shouldve bought them, DAMNIT. Only 400 plus 65 for shipping.
