Those belong on a 350z :). I was looking to get one of the new Z's and thats what a lot of them use.

I think they would look OK but only without the writing on 2 of the spokes.

I agree with 04bluegto. But it's your car.

I figured some people would think they're ricey. I dunno what it is w/ me but I don't like a lot of the wheels US companies have to offer. I've always liked OZ, Volk, Advan, 5Zigen, BBS etc. I want wheels w/ more of a "GT" look.

i was looking at some crager ss wheels but they were the wrong pattern dam aus. car!! i also was thinking of going with some chrome or black C5 wheels but most likely keep stock rims since im a little paranoid about rims on my car due to what happened to my blazer. :wall:

I like the 6 spoke, something different. Not a fan of the manufacurer name and stuff on the spoke.

I agree. Lose the blue writing and blue valve stem and they'd look pretty cool - like OZ racing wheels.

6 spokes don't belong on american muscle cars. Only 5 spokes,
or twin 5 spokes. You mess with the symmetry of the wheel by
putting different number spokes than lug holes.

And that pic shows a 4 bolt wheel...

It was the first pic of them that I found. They make them in 5-bolt too.

If you want to see what these do to a GTO, check the attached pic. They actually look better than I thought they would. Kinda like a "function over form" thing...

Nice photochop job. Those wheels DO look better on the GTO than I thought they would.

That would be me. I found several pics of GTO's so when I got the itch to see what a wheel looked like on the car, I could at least have a better idea than just a picture on a website. Usually I get contracted to do deviant things to my co-workers using Photoshop, so this is a pleasant change... ;)
Glad you liked it!

I'm seriously thinking about the billet ralley II wheels. I would really like to see them on the car first.

I would love if someone could manipulate a photo of a black on black goat with a set of these on it. both 17" and 18" would be nice.

Tougegoat. I agree 100% on your opinion on wheel choices nowadays. The import market has a much better selection for sweet rims. I am hoping Volk/Rays and other wheel manufactures will make wheels to fit these cars without having to special order them.

I thought about a set of those for my old goat. They are more pricey than any of the 19" rims for the new goat. They wanted $500 a rim, not including center cap. Damn! :mad:

I agree, I don't like 6 spoke rims, they just don't look right. 5 spoke or there are some nice seven spokes too.

There was a Monaro pictured on one of these threads with six spoke rims that was very sharp.

Here's what the Pontiac Billets look like sized the same as the stock 17's. I'm not sure on these, even though they used to be my favorites on my 67 Firebird. Personally, I think something with more of a open spoke look is needed - but that's just me. :) I'm saving my cash for some Intros. Maybe.

Hummmm The look is not quite what I was seeing in my head. Maybe I'll have to buy a milling machine and create a set of Honeycomb wheels that will fit this thing.
