New GN aluminum rims arrived! pics

[toomanymodz]

Just received shipment of a set of Grand National aluminum rims from GBodyParts.com

All I have to say is WOW! These rims are very very nice. Thank you Brian for bringing such a nice product to the Buick community. Here are a few pics.

Looks good! And the price is right on them too!

 

[toomanymodz]

I agree! The price is so nice. Be sure to click on the thumb images to see the other pics. Don't click on the main image, for it will show up full-size and it's a huge pic. Taken with my Canon EOS 5D so they're large pics.

I have a 30 inch screen for my primary dev screen, 2560 x 1600, I can handle screen size.

Haha. I have a 27 inch screen... but most folks probably have smaller monitors, especially portable devices.

What width did you get?

What width did you get?

I went with 15x7's for the front and 15x8's for the rear.

Sweet! These rims look fantastic. Brian did a very nice job.

That's the set I am thinking about,not sure what size tires for the rear.

I wish I can buy two instead of 4. I want to mount slicks on two that are 8" wide..
For now I'll just mount them on some 7" steel GN wheels.

Can the aluminum wheels hold up to drag racing or are they just for looks?

Most drag wheels are aluminum, so Id say yea.

Yea, but the ribbing may be too thin to support the launches. Since I've never seen one in person I hope someone would have some track results or some notes from the MFR..

They look great. How much did they run? I didn't see a price?

What a beautiful work of art......great job, Brian! Man, they are just gorgeous! If I didn't have American Torque Thrust IIs on my GN now, I'd be all over them....again, you really should be commended for all that research and hard work. Absolutley great job there.

One of our Central Florida club members got a set too and brought them to the meeting last weekend. The wheels are awesome.
