    GM Wheel Choices

    I was wondering whether anyone has compiled a catalog of the various GM wheels that will fit a Reatta. It then would be much easier to select a wheel that meets personal choice. I am sure it would not be easy to go to a salvage yard or even a GM dealers to view the designs available. Also, if the wheels came with good rubber, that certainly would lessen the expense of substituting and preserving original Reatta wheels. Also again, has anyone had experience with the prices involved in buying wheels from salvage yards. Any other choices for obtaining aftermarket wheels?

    5x115. It's pretty much the universal GM car size. Most anything will fit.

    I checked into some modern Mustang wheels. They're 5x114.3 or so, but chatted with some people and they'll fit just fine. Off by just .7 millimeters

    There are a lot of wheels that fit.

    Cadillac take-off are nice and look good.

    If you find some stock new car wheels and tires you like, get to know the service or sales manager. The going price is $400 per set cash.

    GM small FWDs are 5x110, big cars (Bonneville etc & Reatta) are 5x115. GM wheels register on the wheel hub, studs just hold in place & prevent rotation. Personally think the 15x6 stock wheels are too small, have 16x7s on mine.

    If it helps, maybe2fast tried current model 17'' STS chrome spoked wheels and didn't report any rubbing.

    I personally would like some 17'' Mustang Cobra chromes

    With a little effort you will be able to find many Ford, GM, Dodge, and import wheels that will fit? at this reference, http://www.discountedwheelwarehouse...._Reference.cfm

    They have pictures of pretty much every OEM wheel made since 1984 as well as some aftermarket stuff.
