thanks everyone, i hope they look good, i think they will, especially with the GXP'* big brakes and cross drilled rotors.. we'll see in 2 or 3 weeks lol
thanks! have you done it before? any tips?
i already found a shop to do it and it was around 125 bucks a piece, i might give it a try on an old rim to see if i can do it before i spend that kinda money it, if not imma just take it there

awesome.. but watch the road much more closely especially those corners. small potholes u never worried about will leave flat spots and if u take a corner a little to fast your sidewall will flex and give your rim road rash.
but im sure u are aware

I never understood why people would put 20" rims with thin tires on a car that'* meant to be enjoyed almost like a sports car. Might as well have bought an SLE at that point since you won't be driving it any faster or any harder.
There'* just something about the peace of mind of knowing that if I want to take a hard turn in my Bonneville, I can do so without the fear that I'll ruin one of my rims.

not a boring FWD
EDITED: a GXP is almost like a sport car? how did you conclude that? from its FWD drivetrain? or its weight? or its slow V8?
even though i love my GXP, it suck in everyway if you wanna consider it a "sport" car
