    Hy guys I have an 2006 Grand prix base model. I do some whole sale on my free-time and I decided that I was going to buy some rims for my grand prix. Well I order most of the items I sell from China beacuse its good quality and they are less expensive if you by straight from the Factory. Most of these companies only will supply a customer no less than 200 at a time, but I know where to look and I have a couple suppliers that will offer me sample orders. My question is How do I know if these rims will fitt? What information should I ask my supplier for so I know if they will fitt. I had sucess with previous items ive ordered from china, but I know nothing about car rims. If anyone can help me out that would be great. which rims are best? what should it be made from? I am looking for chrome rims so what should I look for and what sizes will fitt on my grand prix? I am looking for 18-19 inch. Does # of spokes or weather its bolted on a certain way matter? Thanks

    hey offroad I have a the same exact color on my 06 grand prix. I was thinking about getting those door pillars, like the ones you have. What do you think? Does it math the color well? Do they look cheap or do they fitt pretty well?? Lemme know what else have you done to your grand rpix other than whats in your sig?

    No it is just fact. The bigger your wheels are the harder they are on your transmission since it has to turn that bigger object...
