The rims are pretty nice, I happen to know the owner of the company from when they were going to sponsor my Corvette. I did not want to spend a lot of money so I went with 17inch all the way around besides the tires only have 2500 miles on them. I will put on 18s in the rear once the tires burn off. I can not list what I paid for them but they retail around 200 a rim. The cool thing is the silver/black combo matchs the GTO emblem.
Enough talking here are the rims...

Those are nice.
I've had them on my GTO for almost a year now.

Really...post some, like to see them on other cars, I think Siliver would look killer.
I did not realize they have been out that long or any GTOs here would have them. Proved me wrong. :)

Looks like someone took the rivets off their jeans and stuck them all around the rims..not my cup o tea but not the worst I've ever seen.

I can see why you're the first one. Sorry man just doesn't do anything for me. Glad you like them though since it's your car and your money.

I like the wheels, but think they would look much better in 18s or 19s. A staggered setup might also look good.

I agree the rivets are not the greatest but then again they are not 4k dollar CCWs like my old car. They were worth every penny I paid but 18 or 19 would be a little nicer. In time, I have another car I also mod right now.

I can see why they retail at only $200 a rim. Sorry, but they look cheap, heavy, and do nothing for the car. Sell them for more than you paid and put your stockers back on.

Cheap looking gimmicky design, tires look like ballons. Sorry dude, downgrades the looks of the car to Grand prix/Grand am territory...

Try an upgrade... put the stock 17's back on!

and if your stockers were 18's you should have your "modders license" revoked!!! :judge:

Sorry man, cheapens the look of the GTO. It's a muscle car not a civic. But if your happy that is all that matters.

Out of curiosity you guys with no front plate did that black factory installed plate holder leave holes in the bumper? That's the only reason why I haven't taken it off. Didn't want gigantuous holes in the front bumper from it's left over's.

Because I noticed it in this thread he has no front plate but no holes in the bumper.

Sorry for the off topic.

He said that he reused his stock 17" tires. Maybe you should have your poster's license revoked.

Looks good, congrats.

Thanks for the honest posts. They look better in person but then again so does the Brazen color. Once I go through the tires I will decide if I want to go to a dished rim. Its my daily driver and do not roll the fender etc...

I have spent enough money modding cars in my past I could have bought a house for cash...those days are over this time around I will buy the house and do fun little mods. Keep in mind I am enguaged and have 11 animals plus another LPE Corvette that I mod once in a while.....(Crazy)

They may have looked better if you added low profile tires instead of what is on there.
