Default would you buy aftermarket wheels???

Hey everyone,

New here. I got a 2006 Grand touring with the 18s up front and 19s in the rear factory. I like the factory wheels i have. Can't decide if i want to get aftermarket. Any thoughts? Anyone else have the grand touring that got affermarket? Id like to see pics. I haven't found a wheel i really like.

Search a bit for wheels - you'll find your answer.

A lot of folks buy aftermarket. If you like the wheels you have, stay with 'em. (You may want to pop some spacers on if you're into that sort of thing.)

I would, and I have!

I do like the OEM 2006+ wheels though.

Unless you plan on dropping $2000+ on wheels alone, then you should stick with what you got as you would be downgrading from those touring wheels you have now.

Lightbulb Don't...

do it. It will void your warranty. I read it on a previous thread so I cancelled my order.
