    Hey everyone, First time starting a thread on here. Just looking for some opinions!

    I just recently upgraded from a dark green 97 grand prix gt to a 2004 grand prix gt2. this one is a black 4dr with no engine mods yet. Though I do have an apt to get the windows tinted tomorrow morning, and I am doing the good ol VHT to my tail lights this evening... but the point of this thread is to check some rims out. So here are the rims I plan on ordering, What do you guys/gals think? Anyone know somewhere I may be able to get these rims as CHEAP as possible.

    Velocity Wheel
    These here are the ones I dream of.

    20" rims bawlah.

    cheap? no where. 20s are expensive no matter where you go. the tires are going to be nearly as much as the rims too.

    I love the chrome/black color, especially if the car is black it'll look good

    Ya, the car is all black. I also tinted the tail lights last night (went great, pictures to follow), and now I'm at work while my car sits 30 minutes away having it's windows tinted. Gone with a 15% in the front and 10% for the back/rest of the windows. So the car will be... Very black. haha.

    Anyone have any recommendations for a good chrome grill to buy? Gotta have something to shine with the rims. haha

    Terrible news for anyone who cares, My VW550 rims are no longer in stock at the local shop! they would now double in price to order so I'm not getting those ones this year... : (

    Mind you, I'll be picking up my 20" Velocity VW166's today... hoot hoot!
    They are not nearly as exciting, but DUBS be DUBS and I'll sport the big and shiny!

    Should have having a photo shoot for the car soon, hopefully tonight or tomorrow.

    Yeah u know personally I don't like giant rims on a car but that's just me. I like a good mix of body mods and performance mods on my cars. And 20s would likely knock down performance a smidge

    20s are the best size to put on these cars. if you care about performance or are a wiener then you get 18s or 17s.

    So I ended up picking up my rims two days ago! HOOT HOOT.
    I didn't get the black and chrome ones though... : (
    They were out of stock when I showed up which meant the warehouse needed to order them..... a.k.a. Needed to rob a 20 year old white guy for an extra 200$ a rim. haha

    SO I went with my second pick.
    Velocity Wheel

    They look SICK on the car with the black windows/tail lights.
    I'll post some pics when I'm not out cruising in Niagara Falls. haha
    So... Not tonight. : P

    Cruise night tonight in the Falls, we gotta find some more bawlahs with GP's in the niagara region for my to cruise with. haha

    no, 18s just need a smaller spoke. im not much of a fan of anything over a 5 spoke either.

    that rim would look better if it was bigger. get what im sayin? im not sure what i would get if i were to buy rims again..

    There is the car with the rims. Cousin took the pics with her cell phone when she was in town. SICK haha.

    And to clarify the discussion, I still went with the 20s. The change is performance is barely noticeable, still ate up all my buddies on the hwy last night. haha Just looked better doing it



    There she is from behind with the tinted tail lights too. They still look a little red in the sun light, so it's not so heat during the day. Got a lot of compliments at Cruise Night last night in Niagara Falls.
