You dont know what Pre-Gens are?



These rims came on the older style Grand Prix's, hence the name "Pre-Gen," as in Pre-Generation. They look almost identical to what is on your car now, but the offset is sex on these 97-03 GP's.

These are Pre-Gen's:

I love the moronic term that is "pre gen." As it makes no sense. The generation of Grand Prix they come from are 94-96, 5th generation of GP. 1st generation of w-body.

The name pregen is stupid.


Carry on

This makes me giggle. I've seen this before, you're lucky you didn't get flamed like the last guy that brought this up.

The REASON its referred to as "Pre-Gen" is because its the PREVIOUS GENERATION compared to what is common among this forum. In case you didn't notice, there are no 1-4th gen GPs up at the top header, or on the bottom header. We commonly work on 97-08 with the 3800. This is predominately a 3800 only forum with a mix of the 5.3 GXP owners and their lack of normal problems.

We do yes, have a FEW members that run the old generation cars, but not common or active as we have no big support for that body-style or old motors. We have a few 3100/3400 92-96 guys that are active, but even they understand WHY we refer to them as pre-gens, altho, they get them stock so they just tend to say

Not to mention pregen is alot easier than 92-96 and there were several wheels offered at the time. 3 being 5 spokes, 2 being twisted so then you have to specify the honeycomb or the straight thin 5 spoke wheels and ain't nobody got time for that.

So you can take your "it makes no sense" elsewhere. It does.

Lol. I can clearly see that this forum is heavily populated by the 97-03(2nd Generation W) GP. Since it's a Grand Prix forum, I would still think that there is enough brain here amongst it's active members that you would be able to differentiate between the generations of w-bodies, not just the almighty cars that were heaven sent an L67. But clearly not, since you can't get the years correct for these wheels. They weren't around until 1994.

1st Gen isn't that hard to type, but maybe that's just me. I think it's still stupid, no matter what generation Grand Prix this forum is influenced by. I don't care if I get flamed, hence the post. I come here for the lolz anyway.

But /thread jack.
