19" ROH Vapors on Torrid Red

[PeteyPete]

Sorry guys...not great pics, but I took the pics as soon as I got home which happened to be night. I've very pleased w/ the appearance of the rims, and judging by most people in traffic (who stare and gave me thumbs up), the upgrade did it's job.

About the pics, the rims aren't as dark as they appear in the pictures. Perhaps it's the camera or just the lighting, but they look more chrome than gun metal in direct light. In the shade they look much darker, as the photos would suggest.

The rims are ROH Vapors in Shadow Chrome finish, wrapped in Kumho's Ecsta's. I purchased them from www.jdwheels.com , if you want a set ask for Kim, she's very nice and helpful.

Though many warned about the diminished ride quality of 19's, it feels exactly the same to me....doesn't feel or handle any differently as far as I can tell.

Let me know what you think..I'll get better pics up tomorrow if the weather complies.


Here are the promised daytime pics

Get some day time shots

+1 , i kinda like those, wonder if they would still look good in 17's

[BRMike]

Nice! My set (18x8) arrived yesterday. I have yet to purchase the tires for them though. I also dealt with Kim and she as very nice to work with.

[bleek]

dude wow....i really, really like them...alot

[BLACKJACK96]

That looks sick! I wonder how those would look on a spice? hmmmmmm

[GOATCRUISER]

Very Sharp!!!!!

[tripower]

Very nice! What size tires did you go with?

[F1fletch]

BUMP for sizes and offsets!!

[PeteyPete]

Tires are 245/35/19s all around...and the rims are 19X8.

I would've like to get some 275's in the rear, the 8 inches wide are as wide as they come (much like the OEM rims).

Offsets.....not sure, I'm assuming they are the same as the stock rims, as ROH makes all of the HSV Holden rims.

[ducky]

sweet!

[SlotCar]

Nice Rims, they look classy but also show a bit of attitude at the same time.

[Displacement]

Looks very HSV - Great choice!

[qwkgoat]

Flippin' awesome! Do they come in 18s? +1 for some good daytime pics.

[Jontall]

Beautiful... post some daytime pictures.

[BRMike]

As stated above, I just got my 18x8 shadow chrome Vapors the other day.

[qwkgoat]

Let's see some pics^BRMike...

[BRMike]

I haven't bought tires yet. According to Kim at JD Wheels, there are only three sets of the 18" in Shadow Chrome left.

[NewJerseyBandit]

We need more pics of them in day light. Those rims are Sweet. They have an HSVish look about them. Nice!

[PeteyPete]

Here are some additional pics....We haven't had any weather nice enough to really show them off, but the lighting was enough to show off the natural color of the rims.

Oh, and thanks for all the compliments.....Im glad I went for the Holden/HSV look, I think it sets the car apart.

[bonzelite]

too bling for me. not race. but i appreciate your upgrade and GTO ownership status.

[tripower]

Is your goat stock height? What brand tire did you go with (Kumho?) and is there any rubbing? Thanks.

The height and suspension is stock.....I went w/ Kumho SPTs, and so far no rubbing.

[John Doe]

Look great. I've always preferred the wheels with the spokes that go out to the edge of the wheel, lipped wheels always look small for their size IMHO.

[GOGOGTO]

I Love Roh Wheels !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
