She's back from her accident and she shed the old snow tires. I managed to pick up a set of wide 16x8 Grand Prix wheels and painted them black. How ya like her now?

Thanks for the compliments! This was my inspiration:

What gearhead growing up around the late 80's didn't want one? Heck, who doesen't want one now?
I also like the wheels on the Venture!
Those wheels are fan blades from an early 90's Grand Prix, factory painted (I've even seen blue ones!) Has PONTIAC cast into them too but I orginally bought them and slapped them onto a red 1991 Eagle Talon which suprisingly looked good with them on. Wife's gotten used to them as she's known as the lady with the red minivan wheels. :laughing3:

Sweet! All black GS? Seen one in town here and it looks nice. I was considering painting it all black but no money. One day. ;)

Very nice!

Would the 16x8 GP wheels fit on our Bonnevilles, also?

I believe so. The wheels are just wide enough that I have a bit of rub on the driver's rear with the fender and tires. I'm not sure of the fender clearance the Bonnies have.

In the thread below this 95naSTA has them on as winter wheels. His fenders are rolled though I believe. Don't know if they rubbed before though.

It all depends on the width of tire you put on them.

Stock 225/60/16's. Same tires that were on the chromies. I think the offset is a bit off PLUS there's no rub on the passenger side. I'm thinking the ready strut that the body shop slapped on the driver's side had a bit softer spring?

The quickstruts have the FE1 equivalent spring. I'd find a Regal GS in a JY and have the spring swapped on to the new strut.
