They are factorygrand prix wheels from 05 I believe, dont look to be chrome.

If not, what do you think about these 18's on red 98 cavalier convertible?

Thanks in advance for your advice.

I'd go with the Grand Prix wheels personally...the style of the 18's is way overplayed..

grand prix's have a larger lug pattern, 5x114 i believe, you need to get some spacer adapters

Mr. Quick

You're probably not going to get a definite answer with this, as no one has measured them out for clearance, but I believe you'll be OK, because most of the 16" rims on the 5x115 equipped vehicles seem to have plenty of caliper clearance. For example, I have a steel 16" wheel from an 02 Impala for a spare, and that clears no problem, and most of the other 16's I've seen appear to clear the NFW setup fine. Honestly, your best bet is to see if you can find one of these at a yard, and take your NFW assembly (spindle, rotor, caliper) with you to try it out.
