Looks very nice and the fatter spokes don't look like Corvette rims.

Now go buy polish LOL

The fat spokes make them look better.

These look alot better than the SP500's too thin IMO. Yes they are 19's
19x8.5 & 19x10. Thanks

what sizes, how much, also what tires and any rubbing?

Tires: Toyo T1R's Front 245 35 19, Rear 275 30 19
No Rubbing, had fenders cut for drag radials few months back which I never put on.

Thanks again
Yes they can make 18's for this style but its not recommended. You gotta remember when you are buying from CCW, you are getting absolute quality without having to make adjustments to your GTO! sooo Why not go with the 19's I did.

The wheels look great! But could you post pics that are backed away from the car. Your pics are to close to get the FULL affect. If you know what I mean?

THanks.

Move over 505a's, I have a new favorite CCW wheel! Very nice, I wish I could afford some, I'll just get some RUFF 278's when I have the cash.

I think you made a HORRIBLE choice. They dont accent the car at all. I mean come on you spent all that money and they look like total crap.

Now that being said......Where exactly do you live so I can come over and take those off your hands.

Just kidding I like those alot. I agree the Fatter style does make it look better. I now have another option with the CCWs to look at when I decide to get new rolling stock.

I just got off the phone with them..same price as 19s....I guess Im just concerned witht the look. I am yet to see a GTO on 19s...

I want more of a low stance look....

oh damn. I was saving up money for a SC..but damn..your wheels look pimp :-pimp:

Yes it is. I installed B+G Sport Springs I got on ebay for only $150.
I'm shocked on how well the ride quality is with these springs.

18's are fine i just think he likes the 19's better...you can certainly go 18's without a problem. i agree though if i had the cash id go 19's myself

bjs06gto

What is it about the 18's that is not recommended?

It's not Function, It's Fashion that will make these wheels look funny in 18's.
Spoke is too thick. If I'm correct they are same thickness as the 505A's and with the split spoke they look OK in 18's

The 18" don't get the same deep dish.

If you look at a set up close you can see the spokes curve from the hub out then back in.

On 18" the spokes come back in contact with the outside rim in a different spot. They still look great but you loose some of the large lip.

Looks great. Too bad the spokes aren't a little thinner. :)

Looks good.

If I were to design the wheel based upon what I now know of the SP500 and SP550, I'd make something in between. Perhaps a SP525?
