Good day!

I am thinking about getting some new 18" wheels and would like some opinions. The wheels are numbered 1-4 to make things easier. I have a favorite, but will not divulge yet.

My GP is Silver Galaxy.

Thanks!

Hey there,

I was leaning towards three myself! I was considering number 2, but not sure.

Would there be any issues with 8" wide rims and Hankook Ventus V12 Evo 110s?

Thanks

#3

They actually made a rim that looks pretty much spot on to #3 for the chevy impala (2008+ I think, 18").

I have #3 on my 02 Impala right now... no need for the crappy hub-centric rings. They are AMAZING wheels, lightweight for their size, stylish, and durable! I've hit countless potholes and never had ANY problems! I'd recommend Continental Extreme Contact DWS for tires as well. Very quiet, GREAT treadwear, and great handling in ALL weather situations, even snow! If I ever sell my Impala, that setup will be going on the wife's 03 GPGT, just can't bring myself to do it yet!
