I really like the look of the bonne GXP wheels, not having a whole lot of luck finding those.. I then thought of the KV5's.. but they're no longer sold in 18" silver.. SO, I know the grand prix GXP wheels are staggered, would a set of staggered work on an 02 fine? Or would it be better to find them at scattered yards (or ebay or something of the like) to get 4 wheels of the same width?

well if your considering the GP GXP wheels over the silver kv5s then why not the chrome versions in 18's?

True, but I did notice tirerack had the silver KV5's with 114.3 bolt patter.. would these fit, would there be any long term effects if so?

I might be able to get my hands on a set of Bonnie GXP wheels but they probably won't be cheap.

Yeah, I found a site that apparently has OEM wheels and they have bonne gxp wheels at a decent price.. Going to call them within the week to see if they're actually OEM or copycats.

Any idea how much a set of Bonnie's is from them without tires? Probably close to $1,300ish.

Dboy23: I thought you have 2 set of Bonnie GXP rims? 1 white set from your old car & 1 silver set

I looked at GM shop part. New Bonnie GXP rim cost $610.80 EACH :shock: as I really wish I have that $$$

Grand Prix GXP look not that bad but don't like small nut around lip on wheel.

Mine is not that bad. It is pretty close enough which I'm cool with that. Cost me 300 buck from my local area for rims only .

MasItaly Presidents are nice if you can find them...

Unless you have the rest of the reason they staggered the GXP wheels (GXP design) I would not run them on your car. I've seen them and rode in a car with them, and I wasn't pleased in how they drove or looked.

I agree. Unless your car is set up for a staggered wheel, you don't want a factory set of GP GXP wheels. Now if you could find 4 of the rears, you're golden. I have heard the 4 of the front's wont work, as they are too wide to fit on the rear, and will rub the strut.

Not sure of offset, but width on the fronts for the GP is 8" approx, and rears are 7".

Search under a 2000-2003 Nissan maxima

40mm front; 55mm rear

The fronts will fit fine all around. 40+ is perfect offset on these cars.

and yes 5x1143 will, been running that bolt pattern sine 2001. Never had a problem.

There hard to find, but you can find them one by one, but for the price of around $200-300 a wheel your better off getting something aftermarket..

I work for Keystone we have them in the catalog for about 235 a piece or something like that. We take the wheels and recondition them. I am not sure if we even have any available.

Thats great buddy

but I can find some all day long on car-part.com
