ExpressThis13 Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Ok well I have a different vehicle this year and am getting all my stuff taken care of I have enough for some wheels this summer but I am having a very hard time deciding on what wheel I want. I have it narrowed down to 2 choices and they are 18's Sport Edition KV5 Chrome Dale Earnhardt Jr Killer Black W/Polished Lip Heres the car they will be going on when I decide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 I like monochrome wheels. I'd go with the black/chrome ones if I had to choose though. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabigbratj Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 do the Black With Polished Lip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDude Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 I like both rims you have posted. Since the car does not have chrome I would go with the second choice (black/chrome) ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Adam's Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Actually I'm gonna go against the grain... the design of the first one goes better with the car IMO. Smoother, more rounded lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExpressThis13 Posted March 16, 2010 Author Share Posted March 16, 2010 Im more leaning towards the first one because the spokes go the edge of the rim which makes it look bigger as oppose the second one where the spokes are inside the rim which makes it look smaller but either way im stuck and cant decide on which one because they both have reasons why I like this one as oppose to the other one.

Chewy Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 I like a lip... On a RWD car it makes it look tough... Get 19's and you're golden! lol Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewy Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 The Grand Prix is FWD. LOL I know... I'm just saying... RWD's look tough with a lip. Can't see why the GP wouldn't as well but it's true that they make the wheel look smaller. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Train Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 I like the first one better. But, I am partial to chrome wheeels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sooners Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 My vote is for the chrome. I'm not a big fan of black wheels on black cars. I like to see more contrast between the wheel and car. However, the black/chrome is a fine looking wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would want you to think it is real wheel drive, get into one at hertz, try to drift out of the parking lot and look like a fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExpressThis13 Posted March 19, 2010 Author Share Posted March 19, 2010 Ok well Ive been looking at the wheels more and more and according to tirerack the sport edition kv5 require hub centric rings and the dale jrs do not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marylander Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Go with the chrome ones. I think the others have too much going on and won't gel well with the smooth-edged styling of the overall car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
70'sChevyGirl Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 I like the first one better. But, I am partial to chrome wheeels. Me too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcss383 Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Whichever is lighter. Other than that, I prefer the design of the first one better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExpressThis13 Posted March 20, 2010 Author Share Posted March 20, 2010 well i was thinking hub centric rings would pose a problem eventually thats why i was a little uneasy about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitelord Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 I love the look of the Black wheels. The polished lip just sets the off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sooners Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 I don't think you'll have problems with the hub centric rings, but if they're needed, you definitley want to put them on there. I had a car that I put aftermarket wheels on, and there was quite a bit of vibration and the steering wheel would shake above 45 mph. The first thing I did was have hub centric rings installed. This greatly reduced the vibrations, but it was still slightly noticeable. Took care of the remaining vibrations by having the tires dynamically balanced. Tire shops usually only do a static balance.
