'99 Pontiac GTP

Looking for 17" wheels, fairly light because of the track action. Hoping for a pretty much 5 spoke design, most likely chromed out.


I've been looking at the American Eagle 077s recently, and really like those and would be my first choice if I had money right now. Any other suggestions?

We don't offer American Eagle so I don't have a lot of info on this wheel. Our best choice would be ASA JS5 at $249 per wheel delivered, approximate weight 24 lbs.

This wheel will be available at the end of the month.


Here's the link for it:

Original tire diameter is 26.7" so you can go either:



225/55-17 26.7
245/50-17 26.6

When my Dad was going to give me his '98 Red GTP a few years ago(and before one of my sisters mashed it) I was all over "Mille Miglia" Evo's and their other ones called MM1 or MM100 racing. Both were five spoke, check out the Evo's - they were unique. The MM1 or MM100 racing rims were really sleek five spokes, the actual spokes were joined to like the inside of the rims and the endge of the rim jetted out more(kind of like how the BMW M5 wheels are). These M100 racing rims look exactly like the wheels that were originally pictured on the first 300Hp Grand Prix concept car back in 1995?

The lug pattern was just slightly off but most shops said it would fit ok, I think I saw them on tirerack.com? Could be wrong though. Check em out, cause there really isn't that much out there(that looks good anyway) that will fit a GTP.
