Well everyone said the stock wheels had to go and I totally agree, but they worked great to kick around for the winter months though. So I bought some rims to toss on for the few months of summer.

Since I bought it like 7 months ago I bought the following mods for it. I shouldn't of modded a fucking Grand Prix I know but can't help it.

Modular Pulley system (quick change)
w/ 3.5", 3.0", 2.8", 2.5" pulleys
Wizaird Cold Air Intake System
ZZP re-flashed PCM (ECU)
Full 3" Dynomax Exhaust
Autolite 103's
B&M Tranny Cooler
Triple A pillar Autometer Cobalt Gauges (thanks Swanny) w/ trans temp, boost, and Air Fuel Gauges.

Some of the parts I haven't installed yet because its been winter obviously. With the parts I have for it now it should make about 330whp supposedly. Maybe I will try it out at the dyno day if I get my ass in gear and install the rest of the shit I have laying in my garage.

Anyway here are a few pics of the new rims. The are Amercian Eagle 077's 18X8 wrapped in 245/45/ZR18 Bridgestone Potenze S-03's. These tires are sticky as fuck.

Looks pretty tight! Now drop it chip it, uh...nevermind.

Seriously though, get those mods on and bring that thing to the dyno day! I want to know what it puts down!

Air Fuel Gauges.

Blinky light gauge?

I've been having all kinds of fun with my car, lucky I have bitched enough that everything has been covered under the GM Certified(what a joke) warranty:
-Full 4 wheel alignment
-Replacement of both serpentine belts
-1 tire was mounted backwards
-Front right lower control arm bushing was pressed in upside down and from everything the mechanic could tell, it had been that way since the car was new
-Right front hub replaced
-Both outer tie rods replaced
-Driver's door wiring harness was mispositioned resulting in my tint being scratched; dealership took off the door panel and correctly positioned the harness
-Transmission shift control assembly replaced

Glad you are liking the tires, wheels look much better than stock too. May I recomend a set of Eibach Pro-Kit springs? ;)

Yeah I was thinking of lowering it but I don't want to stick anymore money into it really. Who knows if I find some used ones for the right price I will do it.

Yeah its a big car but thats what I like about it. It has every possible option you can get. Bose stereo, heated leather seats, ect. Its a good cruiser beater.

I am happy with overall size of the tires and rims as well. They look aftermarket and wide but not too wide. They match up with the fenders just perfect, they stick out a little but not too much. The tires look pretty wide from behind though.:)

...and the backseat is quite comfortable to roll around in on the ride home from the club just before loving nature!
