19in G8 GT wheels

[blackgote20]

Was looking at a g8 gt with the 19in wheel package yesterday while my car was in for an oil change. Its a pretty sharp looking wheel with a nice polished look. Has anyone tried putting these wheels on their car? They haven't been out that long so I doubt anyone has but if so, lets see some pics!

I remember reading that G8 wheels don't bolt on as easily due to different depths?

The hub (smaller hub) has to be machined on the G8 rims to fit the GTO.

Man you are the king of slapping people with the search sign! I think on this one as new as it is we can help him out. The whole purpose of me using this website is to see what people use and to learn from there mistakes also to get second opinions!

As far as the wheels bro IMO they are not that much better than either of the 2 stock kind for our cars look for something with less hassle and with a little better look unless you like the stock look!

yep i asked this a while ago and the g8 wheels wont fit due to the smalled hub and it wouldnt be worth the money to make the wheels work. just get some looka likes that fit .

Yeah because all he had to do was search for "G8" in this section, and he would have had his answer.

Main prob with G8 wheels is the hub is ~2mm smaller than a GTO. Otherwise, I think every other spec would work, other than the fact that stock 245/40-19 G8 GT tires are about 1" too tall.

Yea the more I see 'em the more they look like the 18in on ours. I guess i was looking for a cheap upgrade but they really aren't cheap either. And definately not worth the effort to fit them.

I'm sure you can get center bore machined out for couple hundred bucks.

Those rims aren't even that great anyway :o
