Dumb question. Anyone out here that has GXP wheels on their SLE? If so, can you provide a thread where to find your pics? I have an '03 SBM SLE that I want to try and put GXP wheels on.

thx

also wanted to ask (I'm not that mechanically savvy). since my car came factory with 17" wheels, will there be a problem going to those 18" (i.e not exact fit, etc)

thanks again

So you posted what you did even though you already have them on your car? That's typically something you'd post in YOUR RIDE if you intended to show them off. What's up?

not alot. Again I'm fairly new to these boards-threads-posts type of stuff. It just happened I got your guys help last time in putting the info and pics on the old site (which for me was quite a while back). Navigating this site (not withstanding the messages) is going to be like getting on a bike again after a long time off.

"Bonnie" is still the same as you guys saw her last (I believe in Sycamore if I'm not mistaken). Someone bumped me one morning near the right passeneger door (nothing major, just a few long scratches that need to be buffed out). She now has got 68,000 miles on her (I'm now just waiting for the intake plenum to go kaputt, then replace that), otherwise she rides/drives as good as new.

Don't wait and risk an otherwise good engine. Too many people (even the most wary) have experienced a bad bearing after the intake failed. Since we've realized this now, if we have the funds, we find ourselves beating the inevitable.

BTW, nice car and I love the color -those rims in chrome would look killer.
