Interested! Id love to find a whole set if that is available. Is it a direct swap? And do they already come painted red? Not a big deal if it isnt but that would be one less step. How big are the discs on those and are they drilled and or slotted?

Almost no caliper is a direct swap. There is a write up around here on how to do it though.

check out the big bad brake thread. its pretty straight forward. theres a few different options for disc size. do some reading and then decide. i scored my first set of c5 calipers for 200, then got my second set for 100 bones. gatta watch craigslist and jump on some ls1 forums too

Hey how would the chrome g6 wheels look on a grand prix?

Looks good man

It's tempting isn't it. I would have never guessed how good that wheel looks on a 97-03

Most cars that aren't considered "high end" or "luxury" don't get real chrome. GM does it, Hawnda does, Shysler does it, Fraud does it, e'rr one does it.

I like GXP wheels.

Dodge does it. Roomies Daytona Charger has the plastic chrome rims.

If they are, they got the Aztek rims on that website for $128...About $30 cheaper.

No they are not. Closest rims to them are Milli Miglia's those the the wheels they used on the concept GXP's (Grand Prix, Bonneville, Grand Am, Vibe).
