So i have a sad story about the GTP, nothing motor, nothing body, but the rims were hurt. i curbed it , i was going around this turn and usually it never has gravel or anything on it, well me not noticing gravel, i punched it because i seen this Z28 up ahead. well i lost controll, and hit the curb at 45mphish, cracked both passenger side rims, and blew out the tires, a big chunk flew off the rear rim, its lost somewhere on 36th street. so as of now im looking for new rims, kinda looking at hyperblack rims, i want some black ones to set off the car. just make it look hot, so if you guys have any ideas for some sweet, but light rims let me know. i will have pics up of the trashed rims asap, they are currently at my uncles right now so when i head over there ill snap some pics of the rims.


HERE ARE THE PICS! TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK

i think he needs to get some fr500's.... http://www.americanmuscle.com/black-deep-dish-fr500-2005.html

Don't you have another set of rims? I thought I heard you mention something about you have a extra set of rims, I might be wrong though.

i have another set of 20's but im selling them because i dont want them anymore, plus they dont have tires on them. i want another set of 18's, some nice black ones, that are somewhat lightweight, with the same Nitto tires i had.

Well you did'nt die but you sure killed the h-ll out of your wheels.Chico(pops)

If all you damaged were the rims, count your blessings..could've been much worse.

i'd get some enkei... they always make lightweight rims...

def get black sorry to hear bout the loss of control and cracked rims...reminds me of this.....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6L-N9-saxE
haha sorry hadda bring it back

which 20's are they? got some pics on the car?

they are MB Wheels, Spark i believe, i got them for christmas about 2 years ago for my cutlass. i have pictures on my computer at home, ill post them up when i get home later tonight.

yeah, im curious what they look like, some 20's ive seen on gp's have looked ok

PICTURE UPDATE, 1ST POST

Damn, the curb was hungry for a passenger car instead of a 18 wheeler!

10 lug... ewww

Ouch that had to hurt!!!

Curb - 1
GP - 0

haha your about the 6th person to say that today after seeing the rims and pics.

holy poop

More like:

Curb - 2
GP - 0

Very lucky it was only your rims. I managed to roll an '89 Buick LeSabre when I hit a curb at approximately that speed.

X2...

Glad you're ok though.

I always say to keep it on the track fo a reason. There's a good one right there.


As for new rims, I'm always going to be partial to TQ stars. I like stockers and they are LIGHT to boot.

xXLankyXx bought a set of those GXP rims, 17's I think. They look sexy on his car but MAN are they heavier than my rims.

pics of the 20's?

if you want lightweight stay away from any of the mustang wheels...my bullitts are heavy wheels. If you have the change you can grab some nice Centerlines or Weld wheels...those are about as light as they come.

omg im suprised the rim was the only thing damaged on your car thats a hard hit

Well here is an update on the situation. I went and got a new alignement, and ordered new rims today. i ended up ordering 18 inch Motegi SX5's. they are a simple 5 spoke, they are somewhat lightwieght and idk i just liked them

http://www.westkycustoms.com/product/MOTEGISX5SILVER here are the rims i ordered.

They are ok. But if you like them, then it shouldn't matter to nobody else.

dude there ugly!!!!! should've gone wit the bullitts!!!!!!!!!!!! wow u officially suck at life!!! jk

they were in my budget, and they were pretty light IMO, idk they just grew on me, i liked them so i decided to go with them, bullits are to heavy and everyone has them, no offense to the ones who have them.

Not bad looking wheels I just do'nt care for the multi pattern,How heavy are these wheels?And the Bulleys may look heavy but I do'nt think they're that heavy.Chico(pops)

i believe each wheel is 19.3 lbs? somewhere around there, more or less.

chico wat rims do you have?

Just weighed the Torques, just over 16 lbs!!! FTW

nice good call 20gtp02....question is now how much do the bullits weigh

I agree. They seem to be played out..no offense.

I think mine weighed 50-55Lbs with tires, while my Hi-Po Torque Stars weighed 35Lbs with tires.
It's been about 2 1/2 years since I weighed them.

austin gtp do you still have the hi-po torques?

Nope.

I do'nt really know I bought them off e-bay ,some Pontiac SE rims 17x8 light 19lbs and I went back to silver did'nt really like the black in sig. pic,I may put these up for sale along with General 245x45-17's brand new, price for tires and rims ?Chico(pops)

can you take a picture of just the rim?

I thought you had Bonneville rims.

Austin I switched rims a while ago these are the rims I'm currently running

You're parked in the wrong spot.

Similar rims to Chico's, just like 10 lug instead of 5, and some other details.

lol... but i guess pontiac/chevy are closely related
