AT Italia Inox rims, yes or no?

RazziAlero99 · 01-20-2007, 12:29 AM

I saw these rims on a 03 grand am gt coupe on Grandamgt.com. I was wondering where I could get these rims in a 18" size and what bold pattern to get. I was on tirerack.com but they don't offer them for the alero. Also I think someone one here has these rims on a teal green 4 door if im not mistaken. If anyone could help me out it would be great. I might consider sellin my stock rims if they r pricey. - corey

those were the rims i was supposed to buy, i like them

RazziAlero99 · 01-20-2007, 12:34 AM

They arn't to flashy and are probably easy to clean.

pawzbear · 01-20-2007, 04:13 AM

yes..those are my future rims. the look bigger on the car than they really are.
just overall clean and classy looking imo. =)

violentrapture has those rims.

they are nice lookin rims........ you could do better imo though. i dont like how they are completely flat...... if you understand what im talkin about.

5spoke rims are the nicest rims imo but they need a little bit of a lip or curve in the bars or something. these rims are just to flat for me. plus the look HUGE on the car when you get the 18x8's

I agree about the rim not having a lip to make it look gansta.

here is a cheap set on ebay 16'' http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...0236&rd=1&rd=1

violentrapture · 01-20-2007, 04:52 PM

Agreed also - I started off with the Eagle 077, which I think are the nicest I've seen, then went to the Inox, which do looks good, but there are better:

clutch1 · 01-20-2007, 06:55 PM

Mm, the 2nd set looks muuuch better.

Satsuriku · 01-20-2007, 07:13 PM

lol dude i hate how you can get your car to look that damn shiney hahaha if you guys saw my car now, you would cry

i used to have those wheels. Sold them to the owner of this site (Nick). They are nice wheels, but they have some downsides. Very few shops have the equipment to do an alignment (seeing as they have to lip). They are also polished, so they scratch very easily and show swirls. And actually Brent, they arent totally flat. The center cap actually sits about a half inch further in than the lip.

The face of the rim is pressed on as well. And lastly, if you damage them in any way (curb rash)..you cannot get them fixed

I liked them though for the time i had them

Redog · 01-20-2007, 09:02 PM

I don't know why you would sell your stocks when we have salt here like this. But if your storing it then that's good.

I think my car might be a little dirtier than yours. I have tons of salt on it and don't really have the time to wait around for it to get cleaned since I'm on crutches b/c i messed up my knee and any extra time of me in the car is painful.

pawzbear · 01-21-2007, 02:39 AM

i dunno..yall dont seem to like them, but i love them. theres something pleasantly different about them that i just cant get over! =)
I also love violent rapture's other rims he posted, and brent's rims too.

if you read my post you would know, from someone who had them, why I stopped loving them so much. To me, they look awesome...but that's only half the story

RazziAlero99 · 01-21-2007, 11:57 AM

I can really understand all of the downsides of this rim, I guess until I will do some more research before I go and drop some money on rims like these. I decicded im not going to get rid of my stock rims anyways, just in case I sell the car someday. Also I do like the American Eagle 077 series a couple friends of mine have them on thier trans am and grand am gt.

SweetNLow · 01-21-2007, 02:31 PM

dont get the 077 either.......... to many people have them. just spend some time lookin everywhere you can and youll find a set of rims you really like that you havent seen on an alero befor
