Total Newbie/Noob questions regarding my 99 GM GS I just bought

[Marq_Blue_Sky]

Bought a 1999 Toreador red GM yesterday that looks 100% idenical to this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Mercu...-/400237112104

Will the wheels from a Mercury Marauder work on this??

If not, can you give some wheel suggestions....whats the coolest rims you have seen on this era of MGM?

Thanks

Will work, won't be cheap.

Ooooo, Toreador red. Excellent color choice. I always did like the taillight reflectors. Post pics of your ride when you can.

Look for the wheels you like best with 5x4.5" bolt pattern and the proper offset for your model year. Don't just go by what the search-by-application places say fits your car, because chances are they won't actually bother. I don't care much about expensive wheels, but there are all sorts of options, both factory and aftermarket, that really look quite nice.

Keep in mind that '79 through '02 used ~zero offset, while '03-up went to a high positive offset similar to FWD stuff, so stuff that fits '03-up will probably require wheel spacers like if you were to use Mustang wheels.

Welcome to the Party!!

You will need to buy wheel spacers. And those rims are not cheap. Well, the knock off ones are. And they suck. Mine faded and corroded in 3 months.
As anyone from ScottFest. They will agree.
I'm a fan of the Cobra R wheels. Or the FR500 wheels.

I just noticed, that car looks like it has full wheelcovers. You might ditch those and get cop/Explorer centercaps for a quick-and-cheap change while saving for something fancy. I've left my steel 16s black, but they look pretty good fogged silver as well.
