Looking for new rims...
I am looking for new rims for my 1998 Pontiac Bonneville SLE. Anyone got any ideas or suggestions?

Nice looking car!
The swoopies from the 2000 - 2001 SLE and SSEi look fantastic on that body style if you were wanting to stick to more of a stock style wheel.

I have them on my 95 (bent 5 spoke), they look amazing. I absolutely hate swoopies.

Look at Rachael's car. (Zuper8)
She has swoopies on her 98(?) I LOVE the look. But I'm also partial to that wheel.

BUT... I have seen 92-99's with 17" 20 spokes and I think they also look good.

Re: Looking for new rims...
Are the swoopies a direct fit onto the 96-99, or are any spacers needed?

Re: Looking for new rims...
Swoopies are a direct fit.
I currently have only one set of swoopies left. I just sold my last bent 5-spokes today. I also have two sets of 20-spokes, but nobody wants those.

Can't go wrong with 16" chrome torque stars. They look great, especially on a black 98 SLE.

Re: Looking for new rims...
Or maybe buy a set of 20 spokers and paint them gold? That would be a little different.
