Stock or Aftermarket?

[equinox520]

Just got a new car.....sortof.....a repairable black '03 GAGT and I need to replace a couple wheels. So I was thinking of just buying some stock rims from the junkyard and I looked on ebay and they aren't very cheap (cople hundred bucks).....but the junkyard quoted me at about a hundred and a quarter, but I'm not sure that is for the wheel itself or the covers or both. So, should I buy a couple stock or buy four new wheels from somewhere else?? Your opinion is appreciated........

if aftermarket what wheels would look the best on it??

go on ebay and start bidding on 17's or 18's i got a real nice set of 17's for 235 shipped to my house and if you go on aas.com they wanted 1200 for the same rims .

May as well just go for aftermarket wheels.

The stock rims are made by enkei and are 16 x 6.5 ( a bit narrow ) but , if you like them and get a good price there's nothing wrong with them .

For the price of stock plus just a little more ($50-100) you could get some decent aftermarket rims.

Personally I would avoid American Racing or anything else you could buy at PepBoys. Shop around, Ebay, Tirerack.com, newspaper classifieds (I found a set of Konigs for $75 for all four plus tires and wheel locks).

Patience with your shopping will give you the best deal.

Anyone care to put up their opinions on which wheels look the sweetest on a black '03 GT??
