Yea, the 99-02 wheels are hideous. I cant find an adapter to use the grant wheels on our trucks for ****....I found one while I was sitting in class today but cant find it now that im home

Pretty sure they changed the bolt hole size between 99-02 and 03+

Both are not my favorite.

The seccond is far more rice but I like it better. The first one is old school and has been put in no less then 100,000 Cutlases.

I don't hate either one but think there would be better choices out there.

I'm not so sure that first one is ricerish. My dad had one of those in his 83 c10 back in the day(like 1985, pre ricer times).

When I first met you, I knew you were a smart guy, but does that mean you're a rocket scientist?

I wouldnt have a problem with that if the 99-02 didnt look like it belongs on a tricycle. And yea, by definition, I am a rocket scientist
