Ahhh... So many to chose from. Maybe I'm just a '5 spoke traditionalist' but these ones caught my eye:
or going away from the traditional (Although I couldn't confirm if they have these in 5x100, search doesn't like me):

I'm looking at tire/wheel options for my '85 GT. Does anybody have any suggestions? I want something that will make a bit of a 'statement', but I don't want anything that's too flashy. Really my only preference is that the wheels only have a single bolt pattern. The ones I have now have two, and I never really liked having the extra 5 holes in the wheels. |

You can start looking at options here, and these guys are Canadian. If you find something you like, check local stores if anyone carries it. http://www.1010tires.com/ OR you're close to these guys in Cambridge. You don't have to do their rental program. http://www.rentatirecanada.com/ |

when using 1010tires website, just use 1990 sunbird/ cavalier. They have the same bolt pattern. I personally like these, but like you said, dual bolt pattern.  http://www.1010tires.com/Wheels/Fast+Wh ... yper+Black

I've always liked the ASA AR1:  Had a set on my BMW E46 and now a set on my Outback. Someone here has a staggered set on his fastback. They are pretty reasonably priced too (even with shipping). Tire Rack has them - nice thing about their website is you can view rims on your car (although they only appear to have a notchie for a Fiero). |

if you go 15's I've got some lightly used rubber for ya  I also like the more 5-spoke look, but those black dual-5 Fast ones would look nice on your red ride. |

I think I am going to go with the Fast dual 5 spokes.... now just to figure out what tires to get. The ones on the car now are 215/45/17s, and I kinda like that profile. Having a look around, I'm thinking the tires are going to cost me about as much as the rims will, so I guess around $1,200 or so plus taxes for everything (Plus probably $200 for incidentals like lugs/adapters). How does that fare compared to anybody else who replaced theirs recently? |

I was driving back from the Milton GO station today after work. Coming up on the tracks and a train stopped traffic. What are the odds I was right by the store where I bought the tires and wheels for my Grand Prix? I took it as a sign. Pulled in, got the Fast Reverbs (17x10) and a set of Michelin Sport A/S Plus. Total price $1,395 plus tax. According the Fast site, the wheels have to be 'custom machined' and take 10 days to get in. Oh well, I should have them on by the 12th of July! |
