Opinions on these?

[michiganaurora]

Just called a guy on some wheels he posted on craigslist, and i really liked them so i had him hold them for me till friday. What do you guys think of them? I know there not the type of wheel everyone will like so all honest opinions are appreciated

here they are'
greenbay.craigslist.org/ptd/3799323374.html

New tires too.

I will take pics of them on the car on friday.

Are they going on a classic or 2g? A classic, I don't think they would look good, but on a 2g, they might work. Personally, I wouldn't put them on my car, but its totally up to you.

[michiganaurora]

Theyre going a 98, i know not everyones gonna like them. I had a set of similar rims on a regal a few years back but those were 6 spoke, i think thats why i like these so much.

[michiganaurora]

Got the guy to drop the price $100 too, so $600 for them.

They will work IMHO.

Saw these yesterday on craigslist as I'm looking for another set. If you don't get them post back so I can snatch them!!!

Good luck, how far of a drive is it?

Sent from my XT901 using proboards

[michiganaurora]

Thats funny, its about a 2 and a half hr drive there. Im in the U.P, so not too bad of a ride.

[michiganaurora]

UGHH, just called the guy back to get some more details on the wheels, and he had the posting wrong. He said they will bolt up but they wont fit over the hub? He said i would need spacers? Awehlage theyre all yours, you might just need hub centric rings.

Got my eyes on a set of bonneville gxp rims now

[michiganaurora]

Scratch the gxp rims now too lol, got a set of wheels i go pick up tomorrow evening. Ill update with a few pics tomorrow.

[michiganaurora]

I suppose i should update this, ended up with a set of 20" zyoxx zx3, in really nice shape minus a few scrapes on the spokes, all tires have good tread left and all hold air(hard to find on craigslist lol).

They were asking 900, got them for 600.



Wanted to wait to put them on the car untill the paint is polished, set up a appointment for the 8th for a buff and wax. Also gotta order hub centric rings and a set of lug nuts.

[michiganaurora]

wanted to get a idea what they look like on the car so i lined them up next to the car, theyre going on friday.







You can also see my tint i got done a few weeks ago, 5% on the back 3 windows and a 5% strip on the windshield.

Hmmm not bad. I've seen worse haha.

[sall]

Not too shabby. Bolt pattern & tire size?

I will never buy second hand wheels though or attempt to again at least.

[michiganaurora]

Thanks guys. The rims came off a 96 or 97 grand prix and the ad said 5x115, the tire size is 255/35/20. But looking up the rims online i really only see the 5x114.3 for these rims (zyoxx zx3), but 1 site said they can be custom drilled(out of business now, so id have to measure the bolt pattern to be exact so im not sure but not worried about it either, i wouldnt be the first to put that bolt pattern wheels on our bolt pattern.

I was hesitant about buying wheels used online as well but these seem in really fair shape, no curb damage on the lips, no bends and all tires hold air. I went thru about a dozen options when looking for wheels and talked to several people, most were selling rims that needed a tire or tires or had a bent rim , or didnt hold air or something lol.

In the end, im happy but i wish they would have came with the lug nuts lol.

Looks good to me!

[lanceslambos]

those look tough!

I'm blanking out (you can tell I haven't owned by Aurora for awhile) but I think stock tire size is 235/60R16. That makes overall height 27.1 inches.

The new ones at 255/35R20 makes overall height 27 inches. Extremely close! So you shouldn't have any major issues with altered speedometer readings.

There may still be clearance issues with the brakes, so take it slow at first and to watch/listen for any metal-on-metal contact. My '98 Bonneville torque star wheels that I put on my '99 Aurora were exact same size, but required spacers on the rear to keep the torque star spokes from tapping against the brake calipers (which would have eventually destroyed the rims, calipers, or both).

** I bought 4 spacers and only used 2, and I just MIGHT still have the other 2 in a bag somewhere if you end up needing them.

[michiganaurora]

Thanks for the heads up scotty, thankfully they went on no problems although Pomps tire didnt think they would fit lol.

Cool! Glad to hear there were no clearance issues.
