the rims im getting

blackGT420 · 03-18-2005, 11:53 AM

I just ordered a set of Rox Basalt rims in 18 inch chrome.. Go to http://www.roxwheels.com/gallery05.htm to see pics of the rims, just go to the pics that say basalt. I should be gettin them on by tues or wed so I will try to get some pics posted for you guys. Tell me what you think of them. I Ended up savin like 400 because i know the guy at the shop.. The total is 1500 with a nice set of tires included...

I think they look a little too "bling" for a GA, but to each their own.

plus...i think they only look as good as they do cuz the pic is on a 300 with 20's...that rim in 18 on a ga i dont think will go well...

but we'll have to see

DrFabulous · 03-18-2005, 12:16 PM

Yea, I guess it "could" look okay on there, but then again, assuming everything else on the car is stock, it could look horrible. Hey, at least they aren't like 20's.

DrFabulous · 03-18-2005, 12:26 PM

Ok, eh, I'll trust you.

pontga00 · 03-18-2005, 12:34 PM

Rims with a lip that big only look good in 20+.

sprague67 · 03-18-2005, 01:57 PM

Damn, let up off him a little. He just wanted to know what ya thought of em, if you don't like them then fine. Personally I wouldn't have went with those rims. His car is a 2002, i'd be willing to bet that it's worth more than $6 grand.

n43210 · 03-18-2005, 03:51 PM

this site is way to conservative. Not to be bad of a rim.

Hodge · 03-18-2005, 04:30 PM

post those pictures up when you get em, they will look great on a black GA

he asked. i wouldnt put those balla rims on a sporty looking car, but if thats what you like than enjoy. i dont know many people who would compliment they way they look on the car. id be like "hey nice rims" but them being nice and them looking good on your car are 2 different things

blackGT420 · 03-18-2005, 10:07 PM

I can tell you one thing,,, my chrome 18s will look a lot better than your pontiac hubcaps. Also, I dont know how u can say my car is worth 6000 dollars, how would u know what it is worth. Im not turning my car into a ghetto superstar ride so I see no comparison to putting spinners on a crappy crx. All I asked is for an opinion of the rim, not your little side comments. And even if i did have a crx and wanted to spend 10000 on spinners who are you to tell me what I should do with my money.

blackGT420 · 03-18-2005, 11:14 PM

yeah, I asked what you guys thought of the rims, but I did not ask for stupid comments about puttin spinners on a crx. I just thought that he was rude, and obviously has nothin better to do than bag on other peoples cars. All he had to say was, its not my style but whatever. he did not have to make comments about how much my car is supposedly worth(If I want to spend my hard earned money on rims, then so be it)... I dont go around talkin trash, if someone asks for my opinion i will give it to them but I will not be disrespectful about it. So when I get pics of my car with rims,,, Ill post em and MR EH can post his and we will see whos car looks better, even though mine already does

tomh · 03-19-2005, 05:44 AM

ya well i dont think they will look to bad.. def not as bad as stock caps.. and se's GA's.. i personally wouldnt spend that much money.. but hey its your money

i got my 17 american racing rims and tires for only $250.. i know i got a great deal..

but anyhow about your rims, i would like to see some pictures of them once they are on your car

why dont you just put some chrome spinners on a 1987 honda crx.. GOD DAMNIT" Mr eh

Mr eh, im willing to bet his car is worth more than yours. That was uncalled for, we are all supposed to be frends and help each other out with stuff. No wonder I dont post much.

DrFabulous · 03-19-2005, 08:11 AM

Eh has a good point about the value of the car, though. Anyone that has been on this site for more than two months knows two things- the Grand Am resale is horrid, and even a highly modified car will not grant any more money. I'm seen cars with $4,000 in mods sell for $500 over book value. It sucks, and it's something we deal with. Depending on how many miles your 2002 has, it's worth between $6-8k.

NYCgrandam37 · 03-19-2005, 08:25 AM

those rims probly wont even fit the car bud. the offset is probably way off. they look like RWD rims to me with a negative offset. if you can get them on, post some pics

This had nothing to do with the value of his car. To a car owner, his cars is worth as much as he wants it to be.

tomh · 03-19-2005, 10:07 AM

i agree.. like with buying my car and mods.. i probably have 15k in my car i plan on driving it until the wheels fall off

or the moter blows and ill put a new motor in it when that happens

blackGT420 · 03-19-2005, 11:48 AM

I dont care how much my car is worth, I know one thing, grand ams have crappy resale value. But after this summer, im prob gonna trade it in for a truck with a plow cuz new england weather sucks. But for now, im gonna be rollin around on chrome,,,And all that matters is if I like it,,, Im not askin other ppl to do the same. Also, the offset will fit, they are FWD rims.
