The Wheels
My wheels are under a black 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix GT.
During the summer the car has the original Polished Aluminum 5-spoke Torque Star wheels, and in winter time it has the American Racing AR-157 chrome wheels. Both are 16" rims. The winter tyres are Nokian Hakkapeliitta 4 (used to have Hakka2), and the summer tyres are Nokian Z (nearest replacement for NRZi).
