What Wheels do i have

**iQuallzey** · 04-07-2010

I have a 98 GTP its gold with golden rims

i got a great deal on a great car, but neither me or any of my friends like the gold rims

iv yet to see another gp with them on it, are these after market? stock? premium wheel option or what?

also if i dont like them is my only option to buy new wheels? or is their a way to get them professionally painted or anything?

thanks for your time

this is not my pic but these are what i have

Do they just have a little gold tinge to them? What about the badges? are they gold too?

**iQuallzey** · 04-07-2010

i just put a picture i think mine are exactly like them im going outside to confirm now though

**whiney** · 04-07-2010

Norhing special about those, I think those were stock like that.

**iQuallzey** · 04-07-2010

they look ugly as sin on my car, is there any way to like paint them without it looking like a 12 year old wanted to paint his rims? lol or will i have to buy all new ones

"Gold Edition" Grand Prix's come with gold anodized rims. Check what color your badges are and if you have a gold pin stripe on your car.

No the gold packages came with the gold torque stars.

Like so, my buddies car...

**iQuallzey** · 04-07-2010

i have a silver gtp badge, and no pin stripe
heres my whole car

**whiney** · 04-07-2010

nope, just your regular gtp then.

so then lets go to the second half of my thread

is there anyway to change the color of them? if so how? and how much $ am i looking at

**whiney** · 04-07-2010

With the right prep and materials you might be at the most looking at like $50, not too bad.

I've seen the fat 5 spoke rims in gold. I didn't know if it was a real Gold edition though. There was no Pin Stripe, and the bumpers were gold and so were the grilles.

**Bio248** · 04-07-2010

those arent stock on your car. those ugly pieces only came on 97s.

Yes, I was going to say that to. The flat 5 spoke wheels come in gold too.

ever heard of SPRAY PAINT???!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hahaha

Get some paint and paint them any color you want. Just cleant them real good. Sand a little to scuff the stock paint and spray away.

**iQuallzey** · 04-07-2010

wait so these didnt come stock on a 98?

and spray paint will stay and not chip all over the place?

**Bio248** · 04-07-2010

its possible, but ive really only seen them on 97s from what i can remember.

spray paint wont chip if you do the proper prep and use decent paint.

spray paint works fine just prep them corectly prep is key to any paint job

sand the area to be painted lightly wipe down with something like rubbing alcohal to remove residues and tape of areas you dont want paint on
paint in light coats
