I will get better pics later, sorry for the cell phone pics. I picked these up from the tire rack. They are 18 inch ASA JH9's. They have Goodyear F1 tires on it. They were tested as one of the best performing all-season tires they offer. Lemme know what you guys think.

Thanks, I appreciate all your comments. People keep bugging me why didnt you get 20's and blah blah blah. I like these just as someone stated, they arent too flashy but are still classy lol

anything over 18's is too big...i actually tried some 20's on for a week...they were just to big and car handled for shit...
anyone ever see the grand am with 23's is he on here? that car must handle like a school bus..

Yea and with my car being lowered the 18's look bigger than they really are in person .

i really like those rims, they fit the black car well. not sure id like them on any other color tho.
what size tires do you have on there? i hope you got 235s, they make the car handel way better.

I like the way those turned out. Is your car lowered at all?

They look very sexy!!! I wouldn't go over 18" anyways, i don't think bigger looks better

i hate the way my car rides on 18"s i could only imagine how shitty it would be wth 20's

look good
I like the style of those a lot. But IMO 17s with a little more sidewall would look better.

no way 17's are too small in dark colors

WOW. i LOVE those, and i remember before i got my Falkens you were tellin me to get the ASA rims, im mad i didnt get them now. i still like my Falkens, but one is bent right now. i do like those a lot, and wouldnve been very happy if i got them, but i didnt so oh well lol.

Im very happy with the 18's I think they are perfect size wise. I have 225 tires, tirerack didnt give me too much of an option, but they seem to handle pretty good.
Yea my car is lowered with Intrax lowering springs. 1.8 inch drop front and back if I remember right.
I do appreciate all the compliments, Thank you :)

very nice dang! also btw what do you have on for tint i am debating on if i should rip mine out and go darker

soooo hot, gives me another option on top of finding some used AT Italia Inox's
GtAudioFreak
10-13-2007, 01:35 PM
My tint is 35% Im still legal, Id like to go darker, but I dunno what it is, it looks darker than it really is.
Nick, I actually almost bought some AT inox's a while back, that was one of my favorite rims but I could never find them.

Very nice!!
good 5 spoke style and clean,nothing more,nothing less
what suspension are you running

Definately a top 10 wheels for the Grand Am. I think they would even flow better if you painted your spoiler to match your car color.

Hey GtAudioFreak, you were looking at the Inox's too hey, did you find any other wheels, aside from the ASA's that were similar, I have a hard time finding many that are similar, I like how the spokes tie right into the lip and are flush with it. Looks really clean. I love those ASA too though, I have a White GA and going to be running black headlights and tails soo so I think they'd probably look good too.

Those look dope for sure. Fit your car well in my opinion.

Intrax lowering springs, with KYB GR2 struts all around.

I think those were the only 2 I really were going after, I can't think off the top of my head any ones I seen that were similar, but if I remember I'll let you know.
Ive been looking for wheels for like 2 years, and I found these wheels a couple months ago and knew these were what I wanted.
Again, I really do appreciate all your compliments.

Paint job is coming soon, still trying to figure out a scheme or design I want to go with.

i want Intrax or Canuck so bad, but ive been scraping my damn kit soooo much lately here in Philly on just stock springs. i just saw a good deal on some Eibachs i might get, i know they dont lower that much but the handling will be great, and i think it will be perfect for my kit cause i wont bang up as much. i tried avoiding all things, but driveways in and out of places SUCK!

Yea that's what kind of holding me back about getting the SC/T kit right now, I can buy it, but I dunno if I wanna spend that money just to mess it up.
