Depends on your price range... forgelines are always a winner... Boze mesh or CCW are 98% as cool.. 100% as pro touring and half the price (i have forgelines on my malibu and i love them.. but ill never spend that much on wheels again)

or since its a GN check out the below post:

I always thought GN's looked best with "thick" 5-spokes like the Simmons Type F. I can not vouch for Simmons wheels, just their aesthetic. I'm sure there are plenty of other vendors out there with similar wheels.

Here's an example...a lowering would do wonders for this particular car.

I think the GNX version of the Grand National nailed it with the black mesh and polished lip. I'd do something similar to that, with a black center(spokes, mesh, whatever) and polished lip. Gives it a very sleek and aggressive look. Very PT also.

I think the LM20 or Classic is a much better fit on a GN...

SICK!!!!! :thumbsup: I have always wanted a gn and I have always wanted the CCW classics (powdercoated) on it if I bought one. Great, light wheels but watch out for pot holes! I had to send two of them back to florida for new inner and outer rings :(

Jason, either brushed center/polished outer or all brushed. A matte black center with a brushed outer would also look bad ass. Guess I am no help!:cheers:

Forgeline ZX3R Gun metal centers, and polished outers. That's what I was going to do...

18-inch Rushforth Rated-X's in the semi-flat (or satin?) black finish with a polished lip is perfect for a GN. Bought mine from Jon and Justin at Driverz Inc to put on my 68 camaro convertible.

They are just awesome when it comes to nailing the right wheel for a particular car.

I love that car! And I love those wheels...one of my all time faves! And it doesn't hurt that CCW has an attractive price and they ship quickly compared to many others! One day I'll have a set of Classics on something!

I have been thinking about those new GN alum wheels in 18's done in all black center with a brushed alum rim. I have not bent a ccw yet and I have over 10000 miles on them.
