Turbo Grand Prix Wheels on my GAGT

[cobracmdr]

Yeah they fit and I got them for 20 bucks a wheel with good tires on them:) They are 9 inch wide and have 245 tires on them talk about wide, almost as wide as my SVT's! They will be my winter wheels after I use up the tread on them. Gonna put some Blizzaks on them. What do you guys think?

[Bouchie11982]

check on here to see if you'll get any offsets. it helps you see how the tire and rim will offset the speedo on the car. http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html

plus the pictures do not work

dude. Looks awesome. If you repainted them in black or anthracite I think they would look even better. Ive always been disappointed that the turbo GP had a different bolt pattern than my GA :(

What happened to the poor TGP they came off of? I love those cars.

Anyways, I like 'em. Looks really good.

bottom end knock. I found it in the local pick a part, it was complete. I took all the turbo stuff off of it, see this thread if you want to buy any parts. If they don't sell I just might have a TGT:)

I think any other color of GA they would look bad but, those look GREAT.

[XoticGA]

I don't much like'em

[ancona46]

they might look good on a black car but i dont like em on silver

if they are only for the winter who cares what they look like anyway

[VanishingImage]

Yea nice style definately,a good paint job on them would complete the look more though:)

[cobracmdr]

Personally I love the way they look, I just wanted to make sure I'm off base. I put them on the car and I was like.....wow that actually looks good on this car. I don't think I will paint them, they are too rare of a wheel to modify like that. If anything I will spend some time polishing them up to try and get the machined lip a little newer looking. They are kind of oxidized from 17 years of use, not bad though considering. They are a good wheel to begin with, they are made by alcoa.

[crfuller1958]

The style is fine, looks good in fact, but I have to agree with the person who thought it would look better with a black vehicle. The silver and gold combo just doesn't look right together. They would look real nice on my black GT! lol. Great buy though, too good to pass up.

You sure those are 9" wide? My T/A has the factory 17x9s, and I run 275s.....

[03graystone]

they look real wide. i like them, thats cool i never seen that done. drivin them in winter will only add to the oxidation for salt and stuff. but i like that look, its pretty cool.

:lol: Ok, I was just confused trying to think of a Grand Prix that ran that huge of a tire needing a 9" wheel. :lol:

I think it looks good now, but if you were to paint them black it would look amazing.

Like Buick GNX wheels. :D

My neighbor owns 50% of a powder coating company.....I think black would look good too, when I wear out the rubber I'll probably give them to him to get em redone with black powder coat.....then I'll have to find a machine shop to return the machine lip.

[cobracmdr]

I just spoke with my neighbor and he is going to do them for me. He said 1st one is free to try to get it right. I'm doing them all chrome, or chrome with a dark grey lace

[RazorDX]

I think with your car black with a chrome lip would look absolutely awesome. Not sure if that's the direction you plan to go with the car... IMO all chrome would look kinda bland. The dark grey lace would look good.

[cobracmdr]

does anyone feel like doing a photoshop of some black wheels on there?

[cobracmdr]

Ok this is pretty ghetto but I think you guys are right it will look amazing! Thanks for the advice!
