G8 wheels?
I was looking at the pontiac G8, and I'm wondering how the wheels would look on a thirdgen. I'm not sure what the bolt pattern is, it's a holden platform. Anyways, these are the wheels I was looking at, I think they would look good on a GTA. What do you guys think?
Edit: after some quick searching on google, looks like the G8 wheels are 5x120MM, which I think will fit our cars. Also, looks like the wheels are the same (except for center cap) on the Holden VE Commodore.

Re: G8 wheels?
I'm not the biggest fan of "dish-less" rims...but then again, I love my crosslace rims... I can see those on a nice solid black GTA, maybe in chrome or gun metal...

Re: G8 wheels?
yes they are very pricey, well they are made to order. All you have to do is give them your specs & they will make them.Thats why they are expensive.

Re: G8 wheels?
What's the bs on G8 wheels? That'll be the difference between spacers or not. 5x120mm is ALMOST ours. Ours are 5x120.65mm so, you might hafta run a file inside the lug holes, just a tad. Depends on if your studs on on the low side of tolerance, and/or the G8s are on the high side.

Re: G8 wheels?
I'm bringing this back up, guys. Has anyone ever put a set of alloy G8 rims on an F-Body? I can get a set very cheap but I'm not sure how they will look and fit.

Re: G8 wheels?
snagged from grrrr8.net ( http://forum.grrrr8.net/showthread.php?t=12449)
front: 8" 35-48 Stock is +48 (18" & 19")
rear: 8" 48 Stock is +48 (18" & 19")
i'd LOOOOOOVE a set of the GXP wheels for my base G8, but I can't swallow the price tag of 20" rims and tires
