Im new to the forums here and im hoping to help and get help with any needs BU related :)

I have a 2002 Malibu LS, With a new Custom (done by Myself and a good friend) Full Audio remodel.

Specs:

Speakers:
-Sub woofers: Alpine Type R 10" 4ohm 600w RMS. Wired down to 2ohms. (2 of these)
Boxed seperately (more air movement) in Custom fabricated enclosures to show the true performance of Type R's.

Door and Deck:
- Front doors: Alpine Type R componets
-Rear Deck: Alpine Type R Componets as well.

Power Supply:
Running a Optima yellow top to provide suffiecent power while the car is not started.
zero gague power supply wire
2 500w mono amps. (1 for each Sub)
1 300w 4channel amp to amp my door and deck speakers. (75w per channel)
14g speaker wire all around

Lookin' to put tints and new wheels (OEM) on it by christmas.

I posted in the forums for gen 6 bu's for suggestions on new wheels. Lookin' to put on some SS wheels eaither from a cobalt, Carlo, Or HHR. Any suggestions? 5x115 bolt pattern i believe.

Tints- Lookin at 20% fronts and 5% in all rear. Think this will look good on gold?

Thanks,
Q

Welcome to the forum.

The 'Bu has a bolt pattern of 5 x 110. I don't have any actual experience with what fits, but there are some on here who have tried Cobalt wheels and they fit the bolt pattern. I don't know if they clear the rotors. You also have to consider the offset.

Tint looks good on any color!

I saw that the gen 7 and up have bolt pattern of 5x110. Did not know that the gen 5 & 6 had 5x110 too.
