Re: show me your aftermarket rims
Yes, only you do need a hub centric adapter ring. Bimmer wheels are 5 on 120mm, 5 on 4.75" is 5 on 20.65mm so that's .325mm difference for each stud, negligible. 5 series bimmers use an ET of around 20 so they are a bolt on deal.

Wheel adapter or wheel spacer? If it's a wheel spacer, what size thickness? Sorry, I'm just trying to get some clarification on what exactly a "hub centric adapter" is.
BTW, those look great.
What sizes are they?

Adapter, it's just a ring that adapts the hub on these cars to the larger hole in the wheel.

I just found some on ebay. Great pricing for 18mm and 20mm ET with tires. Falken 245 and 265. Not too bad at all.

Re: show me your aftermarket rims
I have a 87 GTA(org gold rims), I would like to take them off and get bigger rims, something like 17's. There is alot of chrome and polished alum out there, but nothing like that suits a GTA. Has any one seen aftermarket rims that are nice and gold coloured???
Thankx, Paul.

Take any silver/bare aluminum wheel you want & get them powdercoated in gold.

Thankx Stephen, I never thought of that. I guess know I need to find something that would look good in gold! Honestly, not as easy as some would think, I'm REALLY picky......

While the gold does look good on gta's. Gold is too ol' school for me I prefer black, the gold reminds me of lowrider rims. Either the black gta style rims or a newer style black rim. What color is your car?

Me? I have 19s all around, my buddy has 18s....I was thinking about swapping to 18s on the front and get a complete set of 18s so I could stick the 2 spare 18s and 2 spare 19s on the 88....but I changed my mind. 19s look great.

Thank you for that pic!!!
The body shop I work at has a wheel repair business and I saw a set of these rims sitting on the rack and wondered what they would look like on my car...
and my car is an '88 with extremely nuked medium grey paint, so now I can see what my car looks like painted!!
