I believe that Pontiac has a contract with Mille Miglia cause the Aztek was suppossed to have a "sport" version that had either 18 or 19 inch MM Evos on them.

gawd, thats the only thing the Aztek (damn its still in production???) needs, some 18s or 19s. Geez, get it through your head GM, NO ONE WANTS THE AZTEK!!!!!!

I think on EVERY GXP model, they will sport them. For sure on the GXP Bonny

WOW !!! I gotta say... those GXP vehicles all look hot! My wife drives a Grand Am and, for some reason, loves it (it's her 2nd). We'll definitely have to wait to see if these make it to production before she even thinks about buying another one. Of course... she's about to graduate and start making some $$$, so maybe she'll get the GXP Bonneville!

Because that's what happens when a company places a higher priority on "volume discount" than on creating a distinguishable line of automobiles.

Yeah, I'm just ecstatic...

I have Evos, and am one of maybe 2-3 in my city. Now every a$s clown that buys a pontiac is gonna have em... swell!

Time to get some new rims? not yet... but at least I know I'll be able to get replacements cheap ...

Annoying but I'm not wrried about my area. Pontiacs are not very popular, and I am sure those GXP's won't be real cheap. They are not going to sell a lot of them.

Pontiac is very

Dont mind that concept GXP, wont be made, too much money already invested in the upcoming Grand Am, as seen in the G6 concept. The Grand Prix looked MUCH better as the G-Force concept, it got to watered down...

Are the MM EVO 5 forged aluminum

Because...from

http://www.pontiac.com/pontiacjsp/pa...?imageNumber=1

GXP-specific 18-inch forged aluminum wheels.


If the MM EVO 5 is not forged, these Pontiac wheels are better

A car like a Pontiac having our rims stock is just plain annoying, that's all

Right on Bro.....Torque up the old wazzo in those old Ponchos!!!! You could burn rubber for days... *(See my sig below...)

With Lutz running things, he's determined to put the excitment back into GM's "excitment division". Pontiac looks to be coming out with some decent cars in the near future with performance to boot. BTW, I'm not a big fan of late model American cars either....

I guess you can look at Pontiac as getting some taste by using the Evo5 on their cars. That's a compliment to all who have those rims here!

Wait a minute...after looking at the site again, the Evos are on the GTO, the Grand Prix, Sunfire, Bonneville, Grand Am, and the Vibe. I hope they just use these rims for the auto shows & don't produce them. Just having the Bonneville GXP isn't bad. Having almost everything that Pontiac makes with our rims isn't good.

They are already on the Vibe. I cruised by the dealership to check em out, they look like 17's. My car mag says they are 19" on the new bonneville or grand am, forget which one.

Was that at the dealer? I do have to admit, the vibe does look much nicer with those rims.


I just don't want there to be $100,000+ cars with the same rims

With sleek lines, powerful form and V-8 performance, this GXP captures Pontiac energy and passion with:
+4.4-liter, 32-blah blah blah...

I love those wheels. I wonder how easy it would be to buy the Pontiac rims for a maxima. I would of gotten Evo5's if they weren't so much more expensive than the deal that I got.

More than likely, Pontiac will add a typical "dealer" surcharge. Tirerack sells them for about $190. Pontiac will probally sell them for much much more just because they can. (Ever price the 5th gen rims from a Nissan dealer?)
