| Yeah, I'm seeing the wheels for a little over $200 a piece, not much on the tires except an ebay auction which sold two for like $115
edit: Found a site that sells em for $87 a piece. If I get 25k out of em, I'll be suprised. I'll get some Yokohama S-drives the next time around for about $170 a piece with my discount. | |

| Those wheels look pretty good Imo. A great deal too on the set. I picked up a set of 2007 Buick Lucerne 17"chrome wheels new in the boxes and Bridgestone tires for my riv. I like the factory but updated look it gives the car with the Buick emblems on the center caps to make them a nice match(looks like they came on the car as an upgrade). | |

| Yeah, factory Buick wheels was what I was hoping for, but I cant really pass these up. I can wear the tires bald, and (if I dont scuff up the wheels) almost sell them and get my $500 back. | |

| Yes I agree and at that price I would probably get good tires on them after you wear those ones that are on there and just keep them. I'll bet they will grow on you and I think they look good and such an improvement over the stock grey turbine wheels most came stock with. A great buy either way! | |

| Those are just a little bit bigger than the ones on the owner of that exact car and I think he has 20's. Thing about wire wheels is, the more spokes you have in the wheel, the less gangster is looks. You go with 14" 100 spokes, your rollin like snoop dogg. You throw on some 20" 150 spokes like the ones above and they are actually pretty sleak looking. | |

| Ok these are not my style, but I bought them as trade bait for another set of "bullit" style boss wheels that I want from a guy that wants WAY too much for them. Figured I'd throw one side on to show you guys what they look like on a riv. Oh, FYI, these are 20" Boss 318's.  | |

I was considering this upgrade myself. Has anyone figures what the cost is on this, when all is said and done (assuming I do all my own labor)? | |

These aren't the wheels I'm going to end up with, but the f-body upgrade is on the list. | |

Thanks... I got them from MVP Wheels http://www.mvpwheels.com/ The tires (Michelins) and 18" rims are take-offs from a 2011 Buick LaCrosse w/ 0 miles. Price was $1100.00. I am really excited about them, BUT...be forewarned,  these wheels must be professionally redrilled and machined to fit, which is another $350.00. That's why I don't have them mounted on the car yet. They're in the machine shop. | |
