Well now I officially own an e46 and it's like new. I'll post pictures of it tomorrow as it's dark outside and I just made it home. This car is fun to drive. I'll most likely start a #Projecte46 thread on here if that's ok.

Congrats! E46s are a lot of fun to drive; maintenance costs are higher but you have a nicer quality car.

ProTip: a nice alternative to OEM parts is Centric, especially brakes.

If they made one for the Grand Am, I would have bought one. Never remember seeing one available for it, I would have totally got one.

I love this one for the Accord, quality was better than I expected and the fitment was great.

Retrofit a rear visor, I think it could be done.

[ChaosweaveR] · 05-23-2014, 05:17 PM

You could use measurements to figure out what car matches the grand am...

I want to hate it. I REALLY want to hate it.

But damn that looks good man.

sleepyalero · 05-24-2014, 12:33 AM

Those dont look to bad. 5 spoke might have looked a little nicer. But still a pretty good choice.

tipnitty · 05-24-2014, 06:10 AM

I can't say I'm a fan of the wheels. Good looking wheels, good looking car, just not what I would have gone with.

TDavis · 05-24-2014, 09:52 AM

Are those Stance wheels?

Negative.

They were not my #1 choice, but were certainly high on the list of wheels that I liked, found them local for an extremely good price that I just couldn't pass up.

Edit : another pic

TDavis · 05-24-2014, 10:32 AM

So they're not Stance VIP SC-6IX's?

Well, the guy told me they were Vossen. They do look just like those but they have a different center cap on them than the Stance wheels, and do not have Stance stamped anywhere on them. So I can't be 100% sure I am just going off what he told me.

sleepyalero · 05-24-2014, 11:03 AM

Those are NOT vossen wheels. Gaurenteed. Does the wheel or center cap say vossen? Did you spend 3000 or more just on the wheels? If not they arent vossen

Jake · 05-24-2014, 11:29 AM

Edit : nevermind im an idiot

He is a manager at the tire/rim shop and claims to have spent $2400 on the wheels, he may be lying and they may be replicas or knock off? I'm not sure. (And no I did not pay him nearly that much for them)

sleepyalero · 05-24-2014, 11:35 AM

They are probably knock off. But ive never seen vossen wheels in that style. They usually make them quite different then that.

If anything they are probably stanced wheels like tanner said. I just hope you didnt get screwed....

Edit: vossen does not make a 6 spoke. Only thing I found is what tanner mentioned when I searched vossen 6 spoke

TDavis · 05-24-2014, 11:40 AM

Too many dam wheel companies making similar wheels now a days.

[ChaosweaveR] · 05-24-2014, 11:45 AM

Could be Vossen. STR has been making knock offs of Vossen style wheels.

Vossen makes a 5 spoke that is the same color/style but I couldn't find a 6 spoke. I don't believe they are genuine but whatever they are, they are good quality
