G6 Wheels on a RL

What's wrong with my car?



Maybe this helps...



Really I dont think they look that bad. But there are not staying on there!! Where did my wheels go?





I don't think they look that bad on the G6. Im trying to get my sister in-law to buy my wheels from me. So I told her I would put my wheels on her car for a while so she can try them out. They look a lot better then her stock 16s.

I may have to look for a set of those for winter tires, 16" winter tires are cheaper than a 45-series 17 inch one, and those don't look half bad.

The 215/60/16 (25.9" diameter) tires actually fill the wheel well better then 215/45/17 (24.3" diameter) stock tires. Its never too early to think about winter tires in WI! I would trade her straight up but she needs to keep her wheels/tires for winter. I still have not decided if I am going to drive my car in the winter….

Big, squishy Pontiac wheels. I've always hated the tire choices they have. The rims don't look to bad but the gargantuan tires around them have got to go.

Your wheels on the G6 make it look like it's riding dirty. You need to kick those bad boys out a couple of inches and add curb feelers.

The ride was pretty bouncy! And it proved how sticky the SP9000s are compared to regular all season tires. I could easily get those 16s spinning with no effort.

Those are the base alloy wheels and tires. I don't know what setup they use on the GT or GXP version. But I know they have 17" and 18" wheel options.

They would make good winter wheels but that is pretty much it.
