They look damn good all you people are putting on F-Body and C5/6 wheels are really starting to sway me to getting some despite my past problems with different bolt patterns (not on a GTO).

I work at an Auto Parts store and found a part # for longer studs (about 55M long) That you can go buy at any parts store. If you are interested they are Dorman Part # 610323 for the rear. The front has a different knurl, you have to do alittle more to make them fit. i used a 610427 and had to enlarge the holes in my rotors for the hat on the stud to fit through. Thanks for all the coments. I will see if i can get any better pics up.

Hey:
If you are not using an adapter to mount the C6 wheels on your car then you are doing something VERY unsafe ! ! !
The GTO bolt pattern is 5 on 120 MM
The C6 / GM / Chev bolt pattern is 5 on 4 3/4 inches or 120.65 mm.
If you have a problem and your dealer or INSURANCE Co finds out about the mismatch , when , not if you have a problem , or ACCIDENT that results from losing a wheel , or other resulting damage, they WILL not pay and YOU will be liable for the damages and injuries.
You can tell when you take the wheels off and you can see the bent studs , NOT GOOD ! ! !
I am only trying to keep everyone safe
Hope this helps

What's involved in replacing the rear wheel studs? - i need to do this also but want to be prepared with the right tools, procedure, etc., do you have any tips you can pass along?

Thanks!, RJ :)

1. Take off the wheel(duh)
2. Unbolt the lower shock bolt and tap it with a hammer to break it loose
3. Take out the 2 caliper bolts(the lower one would have been blocked by the shock)
4. Hang the caliper to the side and slide off the rotor(make sure Parking Brake is off)
5. Strike each of the stock studs with a good sized hammer to knock them out. They should just fall out after that.
6. Grab can of WD40 and feed one of the new studs in from the back, now use some type of a spacer and then one of your stock lug nuts to pull the stud through.
7. Make sure you use lots of lube, it will make things alot easier but this is not too hard of a job. Good luck and post anymore questions you might have.

Your eyes can tell when a stud has been bent 1/3 of a mm? Go Superman!:drink:

We are just now beginning to sway your opinion? C'mon, you know you want to.

Thanks!

Tmoney, are the spokes chromed or a machined finish? From a distance, they look gorgeous. Up close, they look chrome.

[tmoneyr007]

Machined and uhhhh thanks I think.

[sccaGTO]

I gotta look into those wheels.

I can't find a House of Wheel.com. Got the right web address?

[tmoneyr007]

I just got his email from here. Not really sure he has a website.
