My GTA wheels that I loved so much were bent and finding replacements in good shape was impossible. I dealt with two eBayers to poor effect. The eBay wheels arrived bent too. Enter a NorCal TGOer with some wheels off his '91 for sale. Thanks for being there, Alex!

Anyway, they are 17 inch Ronal ZS's with Nitto Drag Radials (NT-555SRII's). 245/40's on the front and 275/40's on the back. Before you say it, the mud flaps are going away as soon as I get a chance to mess with the car.

Let me know what you think!

Size and fit look excellent.

Offsets for thirdgens, or are you using spacers? If spacers, what size?

Cadillac

No spacers at all, anywhere.

Tobias05

pearl_iroc

OMG that looks so sick!!! I've always thought those rims were good looking, but the 275's out back REALLY set it off. Great choice!

To summarize:

Drag Radials... he was asking if you had the Nittos on the front AND the rear, not just on the rear. But based on your original post, I'd guess you do have them on the front, too.

Then Boyd was wondering about the size you posted for the front tires: 245/40s. The correct size, as he mentioned, should be 245/45. Maybe you were a little excited... typo?

And I'd asked about spacers because, given the 275/40s on the rear, the wheels should be, at least, 9" wide, which wouldn't fit correctly without spacers, unless the wheels were made with a thirdgen-friendly offset.

All caught up?

Cadillac

Yes sir. Totally up to speed.

• DR's on all four corners.
• 40 series on the back only. 45's on the front. Good catch! I had to go look!
• 275's on the rear without spacers (third gen friendly offset: 8.5" wide)

I'll tell you one thing. These tires aren't so good in rain.

Looks good! Goes well with the body lines and seems to "beef" up the car.

Not to be picky but they're not technically DRs. The II's have a lot stiffer sidewall, unlike the DRs because they're meant for turning.

Cadillac

I can't tell you how happy that makes me.

avro206

they look great! Far more interesting then GTA rims

I'd change that top to black though

rwdtech

i would like it if it had tire shine. post more pics

I thought they didn't make those wheels anymore? Where did you get them? They look awesome. I used to have them on my gta and loved them!

What kind of dash trim you have on the gauge cluster?

ROH still makes rims but has discontinued not only making rims for our cars but distributing to the US entirely. SO, if you find a place that is still dealing 3rd gen ROH wheels...get off your **** and buy them now before there gone. Good luck getting a replaced bent rim also, you'll want to make sure you know of a good wheel refinishing shop.

Cadillac

AC got it right. ROH US is not selling anything in the after market currently to try and keep up with OEM demand. IAgain, I got lucky with a local TGO member who had them new for a year and then parted his car sadly.
I was fortunate enough to get in on a deal with a TGO member a couple years back who copied some gauge bezels off a car in the UK. Expensive billet aluminum but totally sets the dash apart IMO.



That old wheel has been replaced with a Momo Millennium from the same TGO member who had the wheels. So much better than the stock!

bonddav

how do you get a bent rim are there rims not that stong my factory ones are 18 years old not bent

AC

bonddav, simple. Hit a good ol' new england pot hole...or any pothole for that matter at a good clip and you're going to bend it. I've bent factory wheels the same way. Different mfg's use different mfg procedures, possibly resulting in slightly, moderately or extremely less strength than factory for our car. Hopefully GM had our car's properties (weight, etc) in mind when designer our factory wheels....I have no clue though if anyone does this for an OEM wheel.

Cad,

I've said it before but you're car looks just plain good. I like it simple. But one thing I didn't really notice until now. WHY IS YOUR TOP UP IN ALL THESE SHOTS?!
