Has anyone imported these? Is there a US supplier?

Props to EVO for the image - great magazine!

Or is there a simmilar wheel on the market?

I would bet JHP can probably get them, but, like anything HSV, I'm sure they won't be cheap.

Actually I believe that the VXR is an HSV model, exported from Oz to the UK. It's not a stock Monaro, and Vauxhall doesn't really do any engineering on the car...

We certainly do. They are the HSV R8 wheels. If you are interested shoot me an email. mathew @ jhp .com.au

Yeah the Vauxhall are just rebadged. I think they are even very similar to the exported GTO.

With the strut rubbing problem we have, how do these 19's fit? Or is the
suspension also different?

Running the correct tyres, 245x35x19 there won't be a problem at all.

How do they fit, you ask? This guy should be able to answer that!

Those rims fit standard GTO fine - see zaracsan.
