Picked up the new car yesterday. Drove 12 miles from the dealer to Discount Tire where my TSW "Montage" 18x8 chrome wheels with BFG 245/40ZR18 G Force KDW NT tires were waiting to be installed. Here are some pics. Tell me what you think. Thanks.

I really like the styling of the wheel! Personally I'm a 'deep dish' guy so more dish on the rim would improve them for me but they look good...congrats!!!!!

I got the emblems from one of the vendors supporting this site - CARMotorsports. They have a link on the left. When you get to their home page, scroll down the list of items on the left until you see "Emblems". Click, and then click on "GTO Emblems".

The ride is very good. I'm carrying 30psi all around.

The offset is 40. I'm having a little scraping problem on the rear and I'm going to get it checked out tonight to see exactly what it is. I'll let you know what I find out. As for cost, the wheels were not cheap. I bought them through Discount Tire. Before tax, the wheels were $379 each and the tires $187 each. By the time everything was said and done (lugs, locks, balancing, total replacement warranty, tax, etc.) the out-the-door price for all four was $2,546. Of course, I still have the stock wheels/tires that only have about 15 miles on them. If I sell them, I can deduct that from what you could view as the upgrade cost.

Nice wheels
Great avatar bud
Just did a search at discounttire.
They have less than 4 Montages available in silver and no Thruxtons in silver.
All of the wheels I like are currenttly unavailalble.

Thanks. Yeah, when you are waiting for months for the car to be delivered, you have plenty of time to shop, order and get things delivered. So, they were all just sitting there waiting for the car to put them on.

In my opinion, (and because I love that style wheel) those wheels are arguably the best looking wheels I've seen. When I went to look for wheels I was told those were unavailable so I settled on what I have now. I'm not unhappy with my wheels, I just wish I had those!
