    Should be selling my rims today and I'm looking for some opinions on new rims and tires. I know a lot of you have really good taste. I have a white 02 Gtp sedan, I want to go with 20's again possibly 18's if I find some I really like. I will be lowered on DNA springs. I havnt seen a white grand prix with gold rims yet, but I seen a white scion on gold 5 spokes ad I really liked it. Mostly looking for gold or chrome, 5 or 6 spokes. But I'm open to any and all opinions. Trying to keep the budget under 1200. What do you guys think? What are some good sites to look around on?

    IMHO stay away from Gold. Go with the Metal colored or black. And I would say stay 18. Ofcourse its a personal opinion ive just never liked gold on any car

    If you like gold then go with gold. Gold on white looks good.

    Yea I really liked the look of gold. It was almost more bronze. But if i dont do that it will be brack with red lip, or chrome again.
    What are some good sites to look around on that are fairly priced?

    white on gold looks sick. do it, just do your research. theres a lot of factors that go into making wheel look good on a car.

    edit: i suggest a better spring than dna. being so cheap they will for sure start to sag after a while.

    I dont think your going to find many gold/bronze wheels in 20s. Just not a common thing. You could always buy some silver ones and get them power coated ofcourse.

    but gold on white lookes awesome. So does white on white.
    98 GTP-Mods? Yeah, lots of them

    962 would look better on a gp. tire size should be fine.

    the wheels i have on my subaru are from wheelsnext. don't hesitate to order from them.
