I think they look pretty good.

I don't think i've ever seen a set of aftermarket wheels i've loved on a GTO. I know we've discussed this before but out of all the options i've seen i think these are pretty good.

As asked before...how wide are you going?

They're ok.. I think it would look better on some wheels with a nice lip. Depends on how aggressive you want to get

I think they look good, but I'm not a fan of matte black on wheels. Just looks like they have lots or brake dust on 'em to me. I'd gloss black them if that's the color you want. Just my $.02

Yea, the options are slim if you don't want to spend $3K+ on a set of custom wheels. These are $700 for a set. They are BMW CSL knock offs.

getting a lip on these is very hard to do because of the offset and the area in the rear (CCW got it down pretty good, but they won't release their offsets and I don't want to spend 4K on a set of wheels), unless you want to go w/ a "cheater" lip (ala TSW, Beyren, etc)

Very true. That is pretty cheap for a set of wheels like that. You still have easy access to discounted tires?

Also are you currently running stockers?

I happen to like the looks of the GTO a lot but it seems like there aren't many wheels that look good on them. I think a 5-star 10-spoke wheel would look best, kind of like the RJ Devotions or HRE 590Rs (just as examples)

Your stock wheels are fine

this would allow more rubber, but I concur. I saw the price and got overly excited. I need new rotors first (will run me about $700 ) I've had my ss brake lines sitting under my bed for almost a year. Then a new clutch (will do the Z06 clutch)

Then i'll finally do those KW Variant 3's i've been talking myself into for so long
