Where did you get them from?? All I can seem to find in the 18x9 is the 120mm and our cars are 121 correct?

Yes they do.

For the money they can't be beat imo. However, wish I would have saved a bit longer and got a quality rim. I sold mine and am buying ccw classics.

^Chrome is a lil too busy on a mesh style wheel. I saw RPMs on a green F-body and I dont know it wasnt doing it for me. Alot has been said on the quality of RPM wheels too, Id probably stay away from chrome for sure.

I was thinking black on black would be too much black. I converted the front end of my t/a to the LS style and I am still searching for a color scheme. Black was what I was originally looking for. I may go black on black. Batmobile!!

Chrome is way too busy imo. Like said there is some pics floating around on a trans am, didnt care for them. Silver is the best looking imo.

Yes they are 5 x 120, I have had zero issues or vibration when driving.

I guess this will start the 120 vs 120.65 arguement again.

This site has the correct bolt pattern 5x120.7 not that it matters 5.120 works just fine

Sweet they're pretty cheap too! You say that the 120s will fit with no problem?

Yeah they fit but if you are ordering new you should go ahead and get the correct size 5x120.7
