    Wheels for my GMQ

    Well, i'll have to buy tires sooner or later, and I was wondering if I should just go up to 18's, or what should I do. Marauder wheels and tires sure would look hot!

    It's just more expensive. But, food for thought

    For the 09.....yes Marauder wheels would be nasty cool. Why not just stick with the stock wheels? But if you really want to do rims, Marauder wheels are my vote.

        Those are well within budget, actually.

        I got wheels like this now, they are stock 17's. They are nice, just want something cooler:

          I really like the stock wheels on those cars. They're very plain, but I just think they look good on there.

          I think Marauder wheels would be too flashy with that color (but maybe not...). I'd go for Mustang wheels; silver, though, not chrome/ polished. Thats if you are trying to keep it looking fairly 'factory'. I'm not a fan of aftermarket wheels on anything, really, so I have no recommendations to that end.

          If this is your daily driver you'll probably want to be conservative with overall diameter and width changes, for the sake of preserving your fuel economy.

            I actually don't like Marauder wheels. They're borderline donk wheels, too much bling, not enough sidewall.
