I like the year 1's, they would look great on your car especially if you are painting it black.

I'd step it up to at least 18's if your going to spend all that money on the upgrade. The wheels do look nice.

Thumbs up

I love it! But, then I have the YO Snowflakes on my 2000 as well.

I like the OEM GTA wheels, but if you want to change it up and still keep a Pontiac look, I think the YO wheels look awesome!
