Did some searching, but am having some trouble finding a set of inexpensive (~$200 ea) 17" wheels for the GTO. I prefer to stay with the stock hub bore so as not to require centering rings. They dont have to be extra strong or light or fancy, its just to mount my summer tires on for daily driving.
Is the Tirerack the only viable alternative to stock wheels in this price range with the silver ASA ST4's? :confused: Sponsors seem to focus on the high end custom stuff.

Their are hundreds of wheels that fit the GTO. Tirerack barely lists any. Just look for 17-19" wheels with a 5x120 lug pattern in 8" to 8.5" widths for the front and 8" to 9.5" widths for the rear. Depending on the offset, it should fit fine. BMW aftermarket wheels are the most common alternative since they have a similar offset and use the same lug pattern. They are also often 8" wide or better. You might also check Aussie wheel sites. ROH, XHP and others sold in Australia are a direct fit often.

How about the VY SS. It is a wheel that a lot of GTO owners have on their vehicle.

Discount Tires has a website that has more chioces than TireRack. Many for less than $200.

We've been putting 7.5's on them with no problems. I actually have 4-5 different wheels, if not more available.

You could do some 17" ROH Drift-Rs for under $200 each, and exact fitment for the GTO. Plus in 17" they are around only 22-23lbs. You can search or PM me for a "GROUP" to buy them from that I rate an "A".
