    So I just bought this abandoned GTP and it had a blown up motor in it so I pulled that and rebult the motor. Once I got it on the highway I noticed a wobble so I took it in and we found at least one bent rim. Junk yard wants $125 for a stock rim!!! I figured I would get all new since I need new tires as well. Here is what they look like in 20 inch since I cant find a pic with them in the size I want which is 18 inch.

    2000 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP Sedan


    And here is the lowest price I have found for them.

    My questions are how do they look and will they still be economical (good gas milage, light enough and all that)?

    I don't think they look bad. Not a fan of the center. The jegs link did not work for me. What is the width and offset? Offset isn't that aggressive on the 20's (42mm on an 8" wide wheel). I'd want something in the mid to lower 30's. The weights don't look bad.
    Overall, in my opinion, I think there's better to be found but it's your opinion to make the choice

    Not an enormous fan of a machined face on a wheel. It never really tends to blend with anything else on the car.

    The offset is 42. Show me some rims you like? I like flashy but not something that looks like chromed out sponge bob attached to a rim. I want 18s because I dont want rubberband looking tires. Can anyone rec any tires? and rims?

    IMO, 18's are perfect on these cars

    I like 18's on gp's and 19's on impalas. I think it's because gp's are more sporty so it looks better

    20s > 18s.

    unless youre poor, then 18s. or 17s.

    no one should ever buy 19s anymore at the prices they command.

    To each his own but I strongly disagree with this. 20's look too big on gp's

    due to the fact that a grand prix is a giant car with giant fenders, and the 'stock' profile height with 18s is a 245/45.....you have tons and tons of room to increase wheel diameter. 20s are perfect considering 18s still have ginormo balloon tires on them.

    I couldn't find any reasonably priced 20s that weighed less than 30#s, & can't afford a new trans.
