    Hey guys, I'm thinking about buying rims for my 05 grand prix, but I am not sure what the best size is for our cars? 18's, 19's or 20's?

    I would say 18in., but wait for bio to chime in he is wheel savy. Oh and welcome to GPF.

    18s.

    Most rim styles available. I believe at 20s you are pushing the drivetrain a bit much, and also too much modding to wheelwells.

    Go 18's.

    19's tires prices are super high, and 20's are just too big IMO.

    you have two choices, 18s or 20s. the tires for 19s are retarded because they are just a weird size.

    i always liked 20s because they are that much bigger, but you'll find 18s are a lot more popular, easier to find a size and style you like, and cheaper. i think any size can be pulled off nicely with the right sized wheel and tire combo.

    i would say 20s because you can find a ton of rims for grand prixs in that size and tires are much cheaper at 20s then thay are at 18s and 19s i wouldnt even think of doing because those are just outrageous when it comes to price

    Wheel gap is also key to making those aftermarket wheels look like they belong.

    Whaaaatt?? You saying this place is like ClubGP? hahah


    Those wheels would look better with some tire shine, Black wheels look pretty good on anything, there just getting played out.
    98 GTP-Mods? Yeah, lots of them
    2009 HEMI RAM- Mods are in the works!!
