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.

SICK!!!!! 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!
