looks good!! nice to see you stepped up from the 17 inch rim! now all you have to do is put the pontiac centercap in there and youll be set :)

[PHiL2]

Sweet!

[Oh4GTO]

Woot woot. Looks amazing.

[MOTO13]

Does it ride like a buck board? How is the ride quality?

[Bigdave]

They look nice Elliot. :thumbs:

[jonlee]

friggin awesome dude

[GMMillwright]

Looks great. No interest in going staggered?

[GOTPOWR]

Wow that looks good.
Really really good.
Exact setup I'd like to do.
How's the ride quality with the lower profile tires?

[BOTLFED98]

looks good........real good! how does it ride tho? and how much were they?

[EG GTO]

Niceee!

[TrixR4Kids]

Do you have bigger pics of number 3 and 5 you could post up? Looks awesome. :D :D

[rico750sxi]

What size tires are you running? Also, did you paint your fender badge or buy one with red inside from one of the vendors. I like that, the car looks really sweet overall too.

[DisneyDJ]

Haven't noticed any changes in the way they ride... but they look great. I originally wanted to go with 17x8.5s in the front and 18x9.5s in the rear... but the 17's are on national backorder (*we all know this story) and the 18x8.5s and 18x9.5s in silver were going to cost me 1099.00 from Tbyrne. So when I saw big dave with his 19s in chrome for 1200... I jumped on it. I am more than happy... though I was concerened originally with possible rubbing issues... but they fit perfectly.

I got the red insert from the folks at grafxwerks... I always liked the look of the old GTO badges, they were red... so I figured I would do the same...

[slacker]

looks good man

[IROSSGTO]

Those rotors look wicked with those wheels!

[BOTLFED98]

oh so your the one that snagged those up huh? now i know what they WOULD have looked like on my car.........lol

[Jontall]

Love the 19" wheel look... probably rides no-different than 18" wheels. Are those tires 245/35/19?

[HotRodGuy]

hot, why didn't you go bigger in the rear?

[mike24]

Looks good

[BOTLFED98]

he bought them used..........

[loudmouthgoat]

They look damn nice on IBM! :thumbs: Would look better on Tor Red!!!:stickpoke

[Striped04]

That looks really nice Elliot! Those almost make me want to go with 19's instead of 18's. Sweet!

[Unknown]

I really like the look of 19's on these cars :)

[alextaylor29]

What front brakes are those?

[pretzelll]

they looked even better in person. good pics Elliott. they look really sharp.

[highperf]

Wow 19's What do folks have against the rubber part of a wheel ? ;)

[LIVEVIL]

Makes me rethink my 18"

[erinwalter3]

Lookin good man, I'm jealous. Of course now that I don't live in the same town I guess I can copy you and not feel guilty. LOL!

[DisneyDJ]

I put the GM Badge in the same spot they put it on the Corvette... I figured we were more like a Corvette, and less like an Equinox... the brakes are the 14inch Baer Claw Package, and I have rear Baer rotors on the way..

So much for selling the GTO... I've got my original rims, those black Enkei's for sale with rubber on them... best offer takes them... check out the For Sale Section.

[Saluki1]

I really like the chrome wheels on your car. Blue + chrome = :hail:

I'm sure you're glad you went with the 19's. Personally, they just look right.

[JProff]

wow i never really liked those wheels until now.. those look frigin sick

[JoeyD]

Wow!!!! What a difference those wheels make. Very sweet indeed.

[johnsgto]

Looks good.

[Flashpoint]

Wow 19's What do folks have against the rubber part of a wheel ? ;)


not everybody goes to the track all the time :stickpoke

[RAZE]

[Rolencode GTO]

That looks awsome! I almost went with those.

What offset are those and what size tires are you running?

[WhiteG240]

Those look amazing...It looks like only 19" wheels belong on the car. Everything else just looks too small...:cool: :thumbs:

[Silvereagle]

I've never been to a track, closes to mine is 4.5 hours drive away. But those rims looks bombdiggety on your blue GTO.
