- what are these types of Rims called?
i like them...i wanna check them out to see how cheap or expensive they are..
thanks
Scotty I put the same wheels on my little '73 Pinto after I dropped a V8 in it. Ah, memories. Anyway, I believe that these wheels are known as "Baby Moons," and one of the main factors for my choice was that they were inexpensive and I was broke. That said, I have no idea what they are going for now. After all, that was way back in '76. Very flashy, but with simple lines, they are a classic that has lasted over time. You could do much worse. | |

| They should fit just fine. Is that a whitewall on it or is that the lip of the rim? If it's a whitewall get some nice blaaaaack tires. | |

| I'm thinking about picking these up.
http://york.craigslist.org/pts/4542509377.html
I know they're a bit big but it's a good price. I'd have to see them on the car to be sure but I like them. The only downside is potential rubbing and I would have to get my pcm reprogrammed. Thoughts? | |

| They aren't too big in diameter, imo.

| He pulled them off of an 03 Impala. Tire size is 225/40r18 with an offset of 8.5 in the front 9.5 in the rear. They should fit perfectly and I have a much broader selection of tires too. At $200 for the set as long as they're in good shape I'm going to grab them. I could probably resell them for more than that if I didn't want them. | |

| great price!
I think my 18's look to be the right size for the car.
I'd go for it, at that price you could absolutely get ur money back.

| F$#*!% sold the rims. We had plans to meet up on Friday and everything with cash in hand. He didn't even tell me until just now when I asked him specifically where he wanted to meet. So freaking P.O.'d right now.
Sorry for the rant, just didn't want to let anyone down who wanted to see them. | |

| Black wheels on a white car look darn good if they're the right style. I say stick with 5 spoke, and yes definitely polished lip. I like the ones in your above post better, but the wider lip like the J10's. I know it's not help, but i can't say I know of any that are like that. Hold out for them though, they'll be perfect. | |

| Personally I think more spokes is better on larger vehicles, they also have the advantage of hiding more of the rotor & caliper if its a DD.
Opinions vary,

| Happy birthday to meeeeee  18" Grand Prix GXP rims, 225 (8") tire size. They were brand new, and the only reason they're grade B is because they have little micro scratches from transporting them. The guy still has 1 set left in B grade (I saw it and it almost looks C grade) and a lot of A grade sets. I plan on wrapping them in Direzzas sometime whenever. | |

| They look nice Matt! It's too bad you didn't stumble upon a set of the authentic Alcoas that were on the 05-07 GXPs. Id like to find a set for my winter wheels. | |

| From what I've read the Alcoas are forged and the 08s were cast. Still pretty much look the same though. You have the staggered set up? Or just 4 rears? | |
