looks good, a nice subtle upgrade IMO...I'd like to see the g8's polished 19's too I think they'd look good

Hmmmmm... wonder what these would look like with a little anthracite powdercoating?

Okay... those are the G8 stock 18's right? What about the stock 19's? (Although they look narrow as hell)...

Hey will the 19" GXP wheels fit on the goat (I should try this)? Also will the goat 18's fit on a G8 GXP?

GXP wheels are just like any other G8. So if the OP has G8 wheels on his, the I'm sure you can get other on there.

19s are not my style, 18s are big enough.

The stock 18's will fit. The G8 GT or G8 GXP 19" options (both are the same size), will not. It's a strut issue on our car, not the wheels themselves.

I heard that the center hub bore was smaller on the G8? Is this not the case, or did the OP get them machined?

That's what I was told. My dad has 2 G8 GTs and 1 04 GTO. Wheels can go from the GTO to the G8 with hub rings, but not the other way around. G8 hub is ~2mm smaller. He also mentioned the size of the lugs are larger or longer on the G8 too? Not sure how that affects things.

They look good in one way but not in another. They remind me of the 17s but seeing them in person would help. :confused:

The look 100% better than the stock 17's or 18's.

So G8 polished 19's aren't plug and play? Bummer...
