BTW, I believe they are 5*115, aren't our cars 5*114.3? Does it make a difference? Also, anyone familiar with W body backspacing? Will the wheels even fit right?

Hmm...I'm tempted to order them soon. I need to find a good picture of them and photoshop them on my car.

5th Gen GAs are 5x115.
5x114.3 is a import size, it can fit but the lugs aren't 100% centered so you'll need a hubcentric ring and different lug nuts.

ALso IIRC the GBodys have a different off set, however I have seen GP wheels on a GA before. Just not sure if they will sit out a bit further or in a bit further.

I bet you could get a liquid dome pontiac logo for those and would look sweet

Nothing says fake like some knock offs sitting in front of 5 lug nuts.

Anyone that has owned a car with real knock offs will know what I'm talking about.

IMO they don't quite fit the style of the GA... I'd look for something else.

Ok, all I have at work is GIMP, no Photoshop so this sucks...but you get the idea.

Just make sure it's the same item (check part numbers).I don't think they are bad looking but I wouldn't waste my money with 16s.

On car with knocks offs they don't use lug nuts to hold the wheel on, just the knock off. Obviously if there is a knock on on a wheel with lug nuts it's fake. Bascially doing something like that is the 60s version of a blow off valve on a naturally asperated car.
