Well I hope that's not where Deetroit Wheel gets their stuff!

GM would probably sell 5x the parts they currently do if they'd market the Wal Mart way instead of the GM way. Oh well

I would never pay 800 bux for a wheel. Nor 20 for an air filter, when I can drive a half mile and pay six at NAPA.

I'm using them. I went back and forth many times on the staggered vs. four-of-the-same wheels/tires.
I finally decided to stick with Pontiac's plan. I may put a spare on one of the 18x7s.

I also have considered mounting two more tires on the 18x7s and looking for a skidpad to do some G testing.
But not right now, it's winter.
