I know neither are Ideal, but i'm not looking to spend big $$$ on wheels right now. I'll be getting these so cheap that it's worth it just simply to get a bigger tire underneath.


Which do you like better?

sizes will be 18 x 8 front and 18 x 9.5 rear



or these

 

and




I plan on painting either one a different color, if I get the beyerns i'll do them grey w/ maybe some red highlights in that little divet

 

#2

 

I'm leaning towards the beyerns

 

#2, definitely...

 

are those 17's in the first pic and 18's in the second?

I prefer the TSW's.

 

#1...lesser of two evils.

Geez. A quick look and it looks like you dont have much to choose from. I hate them all, but this ones... *meh* Painted black would look good, probably http://www.wheelmax.com/product.asp?ProdId=3316

 

#1

 

#2 fo sheezy

 

I like the first one a little better.

 

Does yours have a spoiler? It doesnt look as good without it.

 

nope, those are basically my only options unless I go w/ a custom set from DPE, CCW, etc, don't want to do that

 

yes, but i'm getting rid of it. Just plugs for now to see if I like it w/o or not

 

it seems like everybody puts the TSWs on the GTO. i say go with #2 for sure

 

I like #2 as well...

 

#1, but the ones in the pic for that rim look really small.

 

I kinda like it without the spoiler. A customized lip or deck lid spoiler would look pretty suite.

 

i think those TSWs are terrible looking, on any car....#2 looks lightyears better.....

 

FYI, TSW makes the second wheels as well, but geared towards the BMW crowd w/ a different name

 

2...i'm looking for the same style for my colo

 

I'd say #2 out of the options. I would like it more if the spokes were just a little bit thicker after seeing the pic with it on a goat.

 

seriously..... they r all ugly... u can do better than that.

 

I like the Thuxtons but maybe 18's are too small..

 

#2

First one looks nice but then in that picture they look small...

 

for the price i'm paying, I don't care, they are simply to serve a function. It's an absolute no brainer, when the time comes I'll upgrade and sell these for a good amount more then i'm paying for them.

I agree w/ you though, they aren't the best looking. Options w/o going custom are basically limited to wheels made by TSW

 

#1 looks x9832798273 better.

 

i say #2. doesnt someone on here have a GTO with #1 rims ?

 

I cant stand #1, go with 2.

 

#2 scott. i think #1 looka better in the first pics but on the car HANDS DOWN # 2

 

2 with the accents ftw

 

stock wheels are better

 

again it's out of necessity, best I can fit on the stock wheels is 235/40's. I'd like to do 245/40's up front and 275/35's in the rear. Car really really needs it.

 

I like #1. I don't think the first pic does them justice...

 

Uno

 

#2 then ;]

im sure you can pull it off.. those pics/angles suck

 

Nice rim jobs guys! Keep those jobs afloin'... I got a pretty nice rimmy down in the park by a hobo the other day.

 

Can you do something else instead? Does the car come stock with LSD? Get slicks for the track? Stickier tires?

If you are forced into buying wheels you only sorta like youll spend more in the long run than if you just wait it out.

 

#2

 

TSW's

 

Car has LSD, stickier tires will help but i'll still be on a 235/40/18 w/ 400 hp and 400 lb ft. I could care less about slicks for the track.



I won't spend more in the long run, as mentioned, when it comes time for new wheels after these, I'll be able to sell these for a pretty good profit over what I am paying for them. Again, I am getting a deal that basically makes it a no brainer, simply just to get a bigger tire under there.
