Ok guys i don't know if there is a thread on this already but i figured i would throw some info i have found out on these rims since many people crave to have them. It may be minimal but could help open new doors to your searching i haven't seen or read anywhere about these rims having a brand.
So to start off my original GTX 17's pictured here don't mind the chrome peal normal on these rims.
Stamping on the inside of the rim on one of the spokes.
Stamping up front.
So up there are the original gtx rims that came on my original GP SLP GTX.
Now on to some rims i found on a pontiac at the junk yard this week.
The brand behind the spoke.
Offset
Made In Japan
16x7JJ
Stamp up front
Picture of the actual rims i found at the local JY.
For those that are on the FB GP pages i posted these a while ago, some said they are some said they aren't gtx rims so that got me wondering and wanting to do more research on these. They are 16's not 17's that the gp have. some said that they also came with 16's i have no proof of that just what i have been told from certain people on the groups. Now i went back to the jy to get them at 50% off with a friend, found them and was ready to take them, till he suggested i mount them on a gp there to see how they look. To my surprise they did not fit. I figured they would since they were on a grand am but a 96 so the bolt patter is smaller, so i left them there.
My main purpose of doing this is to show people they have a brand it isn't a GM rim that they technically made as far as i am concerned, the brand obviously being pictured is KOSEI company located in Japan. As far as i know they don't sell them any more but might help others find them by expanding there searches by the actual brand of it not by gtx rims. al thought they were 16's and did not fit they are exactly the same, same marks and stamps all over the rims as my original 17's. I have never heard of anyone giving info on these rims or saying they have a brand so i figured why not give a little help and i hope it does for those looking.
If you guys see any wrong info or would like to add more, just pm me so i can edit the post.
