My new wheels
Let me know what you guys think. These are ASA 14"x6" wheels ... bought them from a member for 300$CA with rubber
He forgot to ship out the center caps but they're on their way. These are the 4 x110 bolt pattern.

For the price, you got a good deal. Might not be the greatest looking wheels, in some people's minds, but there's just not a huge selection to choose from. If all the tires look as good as that one, you should be good to go for a while.
Center caps will enhance them quite nicely.

Ya i don't like the looks of them without the center cap much neither ... but hey, it still better than the stock ones, and for that price its almost the price of getting new rubber only!
i think there kinda cool lookin really, i say leave the centers off actually (i must be wierd ??)...put some nice sticky tires with some nice looking tread and that would really set them off...i think they look more like race purpose wheels then show off wheels and for that i like em...how much do they wiegh?

I can't actually remember ... but last that I weighed them was with rubber on anyway. The tires on there are Road King HR/4 Tires which are actually pretty good. THey are rated up to 120 m/h and they are pretty sporty looking too. THere one of those tires that you have to mount a certain way also.

I think they look pretty cool. Thumbs up. I think they might look better without the centercaps. It depends on how they look. Thats my opinion tho

Yeah, your car's not really fully loaded unless you've got those, eh? NADM goodies!
The wheels look OK, typical FWD type offset. It's hard to find nice rims with decent lips that fit our cars...

They are nice for a change and to get the bigger wheel, but I have to admit I like the stock 12A wheels better than any aftermarket wheels I've seen, they help define the 1st gen look. Also tires are less expensive for the stock wheels.
Incidently, that loose front valence is an easy fix, I've had to do it on several of my GSLs. Even if the plastic loop that attaches it to the fender is torn (and it looks like yours isn't) you can loosen up or remove the bolt in the fender, slip the plastic loop back in and tighten it up, just take s a few minutes and looks a whole lot better!

I personally like them. Get some nice center caps and they will look great.
