Well I've been thinking and I've decided that some 5 spoke rims like on the GTs would look really nice on my 99 SE.....but......I was wondering if anyone had any guess to what these would cost used. Thanks

Depends on the conditions and the location ... there are several set for sale in our Classified Section :)

Well I was actually thinking about looking for them at some salvage yards around here. Good idea? or not?

well i doubt you will find any, and if you do then they will probably be in the salvage yard for a reason, that their all torn up. but just post in the wanted section that your looking for some, and do some searching at local shops or on craigs list or something. generally they will be about 100-200 per rim, maybe less, maybe more, but thats for new. then this doesnt include rubber. but lately i have seen some sets go - :'( - for like $500 rims and rubber. some very nice sets too... just gotta wait for my tax returns :D but good luck searching!

have any special kinds in mind, like chrome, silver, black? and where r u located?

I'm looking for chrome 5 spoked wheels like you find on most stock Grand Am GTs. I'm in northeastern Nebraska.

Haha thanks. I'm also looking them without any tires, I mean the salvage yard I have in mind is a pretty good sized one too. They sell used everything, you bring your own tools, pull your own parts, etc. But the thing that got me was they sell used tires which means they could possibly get them from their salvaged cars. Now do you guys think they'd have a turn table there because I just got new tires and my idea was....... Find the 5 spokes up there, have those tires taken off, my tires put on, trade my old rims to them for some extra money which would bring the cost of the 5 spokes down considerably. What do you guys think?

What size wheels do you have right now? My SE came with 15" wheels, the GTs have 16". Not sure if you have the twisted 5 spoke alloys like mine or the 15 spoke wheels.

I have the 15 spoke wheels on her right now. They're 16s the same size as the GT.
