    Wheel opinions, please.

    Hey, I'm thinking about getting some new rims for the GM, looking for some opinions as to which ones.

    My car is in my sig, let me know what you think'll look good. I don't really want to go any bigger than 18" or so, I still want it to look tasteful. I was thinking maybe Marauder rims, but I'm not sure.

    Marauder wheels would be NICE.

    LX sport wheels are also an option, but 03-up...

    Hopefully someone will chime in about the 03-up stuff...

        Marauder rims should bolt right up to the '03. Same offsets from what I understand. Mach1 wheels will also fit for that matter.

        The rear fender lip on the MM's are rolled and flat against the fender, but I don't know if this was for sidewall clearance or if all the '03+ panthers are this way. Just saying because my '00 GM wasn't this way.

          I know someone with an '03 Crown Vic and his rear fender is the same as you are talking about. The Marauder's offset is about 50mm. You can try '05 Mustang wheels they are about 38 offset. They should stick out just a little bit more than the Marauder rims.

              05 Mustang wheels will bolt up and you can find them pretty cheap on ebay. They're slightly different, but should look fine. Someone on the other site put the 05 Bullitt wheels on his 05 Grand Marq I think.

                Guess they weren't bullitt wheels, still 05 Mustang wheels though.

                  I vote for Marauder wheels or AR Torq Thrust II's.

                          Can one of the photoshoppers put some of the bullitt wheels on for me?
