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.

I think the LM20 or Classic is a much better fit on a GN...
