I gots the blingity bling GTU wheels on the Sunbird

I need to finish re-doing the wheels, but I was in desperate need of tires so I went ahead and put a set of ContiTouringContact 225/50-16 on the GTU wheels. Discovered that one wheel was pretty badly whopperjawed on the inside rim, but it doesn't seem to affect ride quality.

The goofy tire shop had a hell of a time getting the tires over the rims. It took 2-3 guys pretty much putting their combined weight on the sidewall to push it down enough for the machine to pull the tire over the rim.

So far I like them alot. Since they're a lower profile, I'm feeling every little ripple in the pavement, but that's no big deal.

Ever think of sandblasting the rims ?

Can you fit 245-50s on those ?

245's will rub on an L body with 16x7's so I would assume the same for a J body.


You have had those rims forever, glad to see em finally on. The more L body you have in'er the better your J will be :P

Either way you look at it, its still not a w body:P Those do look good though, despite the finish. I am running cutlass rims on the GP and they are in horrid condition (but look good anyway).

That'd be much too big in width and diameter. Right now, the 225/50s come right out to the edge of the fender, and even scrub a bit if I hit a hard bump.

Thank goodness. :P
