Hey guys,
This post doesn't have to do with my Grand Prix, but it seems that there is a lot of good info here on wheels, so I thought I would post here to get some feedback. I also have a Mercury Grand Marquis GS and currently have 4 studded Firestone Winterforce tires mounted on my stock 15in hubcap covered steel wheels. I need to buy a set of spring/summer tires so I can get these winter tires off soon, so I was thinking of purchasing another set of wheels so the installation will be easy between seasons. The wheel size could be 15-17 inches depending on the best deal that I could get and the wheels don't have to be brand new/perfect looking. Anyone here have any suggestions on websites/online businesses that I should investigate where I could get a good deal on wheels that would fit my ride? I already checked tirerack.com and the wheels there were a bit more than I want to spend. For me the cheaper the better, as long as they look decent and aren't warped or bent. I thought my best bet would be to score some used black steel police wheels with the chrome trim, but I don't really know where to look to score those. Any suggestions would be awesome, I really need to get these studded tires off soon.
Thanks,
JCRULZ
PS My Grand Marquis is silver in color with navy blue pinstriping. The wheel bolt pattern is 5 bolt with 114.5 spacing.
