trying to locate rims

[Trevlya006]

hey,
i know i dont usually post to many questions on the board here, but i was wondering if anyone knew where i could get the rims off of a 2005 bonneville GXP.
i see everyone on here has gone for the eagle rims, and whatever else, but i am going to keep it in the family here..

no not incest you sicko's. :lol:

but they are 18" rims, and are 5X115 should be just dandy as long as the offset is about the same.. if not i will force it to be the same!

if no one can find the exact rims, i am just looking for something similar to almost exact as the bonne has. and please if you do look or know a place that has them, can we try to make it so that there is no lip on the rim? just the 5 spokes!

heres the pic!
i love GM's new idea of a flat front rim.

hmmmmm you should probably chop those onto your car cuz I really want to see it now :lol:

[Trevlya006]

ok well heres the best i can do..

not until about 35 min ago did i realize they no longer make a bonneville.. :wtf:
so heres one.. the back tire is good, but the front sucks. its a quick chop, and when checking through google, none of the cars have the same position on the tires as mine did, so i improvised..

and with this one, the front tire is decent, but the back tire was so hard to get a good manipulation on so just the front with this one.

i think they look good, that just me though.

man is it hard to alter and skew a wheel/tire when you are trying to keep it to a relative size!

:hitit:
thanks.

are these close enough http://emka-pneu.cz/images/small/mille-miglia-ev-5.jpg

I say you need to get some of those :D Could check a dealer, but they'll charge out the whazoo for them I'm sure.

[Trevlya006]

yea i work at a dealer so i get a bit of a discount.. but i dont know what the availability is going to be on rims that no car has anymore!

street, those are pretty close, but i dont like chrome rims, i love polished ones.. and unfortinatly those rims have a lip on them to :-\
good try though!

[Trevlya006]

oh just an FYI, EBAY HAS THEM!!!

they are 950 for all 4 with no tires though...

no lip = bliss!!

I could've sworn that was a GTO. They look so much alike from that angle.

[Trevlya006]

indeed you are correct, they are really close..

the gto:

that be teh problem!

The Mille's that Street posted (although they're no longer made) are painted like the GXP wheels. I've been wanting to rock the GXP wheels for a while (either off a gp of bonne) but OEM wheels are so dang expensive...aftermarket are much more reasonable.

[Trevlya006]

yea well it dosn't help that the bonne no longer exists either. :-\

[Red99GT]

You can probably still get the wheels tho, can't you? Just because they no longer make the car doesn't mean that they stop making parts. There's still GXP bonne's out there, and they can't abandon them. Also, as the cars get older, junk yards are going to start getting them....and maybe finally they'll be reasonable in price.

[Trevlya006]

yea, and i didn't mean that i cant ever get them, just i know that alot of the people with the bonne's that are not GXP's really want those rims also, and since they are limited, they will slowly dissapear.. not to fast though since GM makes like i dunno 10k cars a day or whatever..

i checked car-part.com and found them on there, but i dont understand the damage units that they use, so i dont want to buy those rims and find out they are all fubar.
i have found a few junk yards around where i live that specialize in only domestics, and well the snow is a FWD killer.
i will find them in due time, next bad part after that is buying them tires..
