    I'm looking for gold rims for my 06 grand prix. So far I havent seen any for sale for grand prix. I'm thinking more gold bbs like subaru than gold daytons. I want to know what are some good rims to start with. preferably turbine style spokes (search for the rims on tesla electric cars) 18's. Any help would be appreciated.

    my goal even though it might be lame is to keep the same footprint as the stock wheels so I think stockies are 8 wide, just a regular street tire. local tire shop guy on computer recomends 235/50-18. budget about 1100 for wheels tires all together.

    the stock wheels on your car should be 17x7, but an 18x8 won't be much different with a 235 wide tire so i'd stick with that size anyway.

    the wheel/tire packages you'll find might end up being a little bit more unless you just want cheap, knockoff wheels (probably going to end up being that way anyway).

    however, you mentioned a turbine styled spokes or the STI BBS. so you're looking for something like 10-15 spoke wheels, in gold color?

    yes either or really that is the two styles that I like. the thing is I don't like the look of really big rims so even if I found rims I like stock size I would go for it. But what rims have you seen like the turbine rims I have not found them.
