GTA Rims

Hey guys- i know alot of you are always looking for GTA rims, go to http://www.gbodyparts.com/wheels.htm they take cores and make up to a 10" wheel- im picking up a set for my GN this week, they are meant for a GNX but i think the 4.5 BS should work for you guys right?

hmm interesting. i have always though about something. i saw a site a while back that was doing steel wheels like that. was not sure if doing aluminum is safe though. has anyone tried or have any experience w/ this? would be nice to have wider wheels.....and i dont think we will be seeing any bigger, aftermarket crosslace wheels made anytime soon

the guy takes them, cuts them apart and widens them, and then refininshes and paints them- i think its worth it for a set of 10" rims. ive seen a couple GNs around that have this- and they look awsome, the guy does good work, they look brand new- i dont know i just thought i would share for you guys since alot of people ask about aftermarket GTA rims

Phyte,

Looks like you are enjoying the mild Texas winter (and the car). It's lookin' pretty sweet.

That shot reminds me of my old house in Travis county.

~sigh~
