Hey guys, right now I'm currently looking for some wheels to put on my H Body Bonneville. I have a big interest in the cross weave pattern wheels and I know where to buy a good set of them. Although my mind isn't completely made up yet. I saw these on eBay and I like this design as well, but I'm not sure if it's possible for them to be fitted on my stock H body, as they are from the newer W Body. If anyone has already put these on their H Body, some insight or pictures of it would be awesome references.
Thanks, and also here's the picture:

I believe newer W body wheels should fit, and I think those even came stock on some 2000+ Bonnevilles.

I have those rims on my 2000 Bonneville. They are a bit of a PITA to clean, but I like the look of them second to the split 6 spoke SSEi rims, which are the only rims I'd put on this car other than something really awesome from the aftermarket.
They are incredible looking wheels! (even better that they're from the factory) I just wish I was decent enough at photoshop to paste them onto my car and get some kind of preview lol.

Thanks! Your PS skills are WAAAAY better than mine. I like how that looks but what I am sort of "iffy" on is the amount of room from the top of the tire to the wheel well. I think the wheels would look amazing if the car was a little lower but i don't know if that's the case, or if new tires and 2 inch bigger wheels would make that difference.

I agree. Even with my car, I like the rims, but realistically they'd look so much better with a drop in ride height...probably a good 1.5-2 inches front and rear.
