If you got the split 5-spoke GT wheels (thats what it sounds like) none of the center caps are going to fit it anyways. The only ones that will work are what came with it. You won't need to do an alignment, just make sure when the tires are mounted they are balanced as well. Good luck!

Thanks Guys!

Hey Windveil, did you add that GT rear sway bar yet? I noticed in your sig you mentioned adding a GT front but no mention of rear. If you haven't, it's the best bang for the buck performance wise. The difference in handling in the corners is amazing! Just thought I'd ask.

how bout this I cant vote. My advice is be original, dont just through some GT wheels on your V6. My .99 cent advice for you. Payment due within 7 business days.

Sorry, but I'm not putting on the GT rims to copy others or make my car look like a GT. I don't even have fogs, I'm cutting my bumper for my duals, I have Pony badges. Why, because I like them! If I was just copying others, I'd be getting bullits because that's what it seems that most people like. I'm getting the GT ones because I like the way they'll look on my car, not because they're GT. I'm not a flashy guy, and I'm not into nice shiny rims. I like these because they're my style and they look a lot better IMO then what I have. The reason for the poll was really because I wasn't sure what getting them would entail in terms of work on the car.

Sorry if I don't think the advice was worth 99 cents...

Hey Cayuse,
I'm getting the Hellwig rear swaybar as soon as I get paid. The front is solid as a rock right now, the rear needs to be as well!
