Rims?

What rims are people using? I have an 85 GSL-SE and would like to replace the factories. I know it has a weird bolt pattern. I'm looking for 16's.

Thanks Alot

John

84/85 SE's have 4x114.3 bolt pattern, which makes wheel selection very easy. The other models and years had 4x110 which are much more difficult to find wheels for.

Check out my signature line and you can get a look at the wheels that I chose for my SE. There are a lot of them out there for you to choose from. Backspacing offset will be important for you to consider, as 38-40mm is about right, any less than that and you could have problems with the tires scrubbing on the springs and stabilizer bar during certain driving conditions. HTH,
