Just curious if anyone have 99-up grand am / grand prix wheels (with adapters of course) on their car?

If so can I see pics?

Yeah, I'm sure you CAN do it. But you would be sorely dissapointed with the looks. You might not realize it, but the wheels you have in the pic are actually the best looking wheels for your car. Other than some Ronal Firehawk wheels, or some 4th gen wheels.

I think Grand Am Wheels are 5x100mm bolt spacing, and Grand Prix are larger, but I think they're still the wrong size, but not sure (5x114?). Our cars are 5x4.75 bolt spacing, which works out to 120.6mm. Just thought I'd let you know before you go out and buy some rims... Be sure to measure...
