Re: where to get a rim

$100 is cheap for a replacement factory wheel, especially if it has a decent tire on it. I'd jump on it, as I doubt you're going to find one cheaper.

The day of cheap rims are over. Getting a rim now a days will cost you. A set of GTX rims sold for $3,000.00 not too long ago. Pay the $100.00.

Re: where to get a rim

I have a 95 Grand Prix and did the same this past weekend. I called around and found only two junkyards that had rims. One place wanted 100 dollars. The second one wanted 35 dollars, but I had to drive some ways to get it for 35 bucks. Not to menchine it has a small ding in it but hey, i will be the only one that notices it.

I also had to get an alignment done on my car and now the wheel sits back to far and rubs the fender wall if i go too far to the right. So now i gotta move the strut foward at the tower to make up for this.

GL man
