Is that the actual sizes, 20 x 9.5 and 20 x 10? That is a photoshop of this pic from the pontiac site (very good job too):

You are absolutley correct. I ahve been trying to get a really good picture to show all of you of 2 different 20" of the actuall wheel, but it has been like pulling teeth. So the distributor used the wheel of a Z car I think and put it on here to so all of you can get some kind of idea. It is a picture to generate discussion and thought
thanks

That's a lot of bling for the lowly GTO

I agree. I'd expect that to be on a Denali or Escalade more than a GTO...but to each his own. :-patriot:

I'm sure I'll be one of those guys who has to see an actual pic of it first before passing final judgment.

I've gotten the "too much bling" comments on my chrome wheels but to me its "just right" especially on a blue car.

Holy smokes, "Hey man, where is your tire?" comes to mind when I see that. Sure, it probably looks fine for someone who wants uber bling but downright ugly if you ask me. I've got the exact flipflop taste.

Well, it's a very good photoshop if you ask me. If I wouldn't have recognized the picture I would not have known the difference.

But buy the responses I'd say a 20" wheel is not something to "stock up" on ;)
