Provided you mean Bonneville or Grand Prix GXP, then yes.

NO ITS A 2000 SSEi not a 2000 SSEi GXP! so will they fit??

Please leave the discussion to this thread, in the public area.

Yes. What I implied was that Bonneville GXP wheels and Grand Prix GXP wheels will fit your car, and any other 87+ Bonneville. They share the same wheel pattern, hub diameter, offset, etc. There is very little difference, other than spring rates and the tuning of the dampners. I know it wasn't an 00 Bonne GXP, because the GXP replaced the SSEi, and was only produced 2004-05.

We can have a lot of different wheels. A lot of GM wheels from the era bolt up perfectly.

The Aztec wheels are cool but too small IMO to be a decent upgrade. I prefer the bent 5s to the Aztecs.

Lots of Aztecs got Grand Prix and/or Bonneville wheels OEM. They did have a GXP style 18 that was slightly different as well.

Yeah, correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't the Aztec bent fives the exact same as the Bonnie?

You are correct.

Most all GM front wheel drive cars (mid-size, full-size) used the same 5x115 bolt pattern from 1987-up to current (not sure about the last couple years, haven't kept up with the late models).

I was talking about the straight 5's on the Aztec the ones that match the concept Bonneville Gxp that rim size is 17inch so I say its a nice upgrade from my 16 and gives it a concepts look!

LOTS of Mods
the Concept GXP wheels were 19"

The problem with the Aztec wheel are only 6.5" wide. Yes you can fit a 235 wide tire but the wheel looks small

Forgive my ignorance in asking this, but it's kind of on topic and I'm really no wheels/hub expert, but what all is in the way of swapping to a hub that would have a different bolt pattern to accomodate different wheel sizes? I'm sure it has to do with the axles and splines, as well as offsets and fitiment, but is that even plausible to swap to a different hub size? I know I've heard about getting the hubs re-drilled for different patterns, but never completely changing them.

The biggest issue would be the unit bearing mounting and the axle spline. Best thing to do would be get custom spacers made.

It was really easy back in the day when everything was RWD, and you just had to swap axleshafts and front hubs out...
