2005 GXP
The look of the Bonneville GXP wheels that have been chromed or PVD coated have always intrigued me, but when I can across these wheels, I just couldn't pass them up, considering I only have a grand total of $400 (tires included) invested in them.
The wheels were never mounted blems with VERY minor rub marks on them that were easily buffed out.
They satisfy my desire to have a set of polished wheels on my car at a minimum cost.

They are 18" Grand Prix GXP wheels, and NO, I'm note getting rid of my Bonneville wheels.

Wow, I didn't realize how perfect the GXP Wheels are for the GXP until I saw these. The only difference is that the spokes are a little thicker, but that turns me off. Interesting...

You have a Bonneville with Grand Prix wheels and I have a Grand Prix with Bonneville wheels!
I saw a GXP for sale near me with chrome wheels. They didn't seem interested in trading me wheels even though my tires are newer. At least I tried.


Are all four wheels the same width or are two wider than the other ones?

Nice! I wanted to try these out on my car, they can be found very cheap sometimes. Are they all the wider ones? Or do you have the staggered set up?

The rears are the more narrow ones.

I'm not saying I like these over the Bonneville wheels, but I do like the polished look.
Just wish the Bonneville wheels came polished from the factory.

But like I said, the $400 spent for the wheels AND tires, I couldn't pass on.
I originally found these for my sons GP to mount Blizzaks on, but he wasn't interested, so I grabbed them.

Correct, the rears are 7" wide.
By having them all the same, rotating is possible.

Whoops! Maybe I should read.. Hahaha. Either way, that's a smoking deal! I kinda like the extra meat of the spokes.

I still prefer the Bonne GXP wheels more (they are one of the best looking GM wheels as of late), but those look good still.
