I didnt have time to mask out the brakes and play with the highlights. I like my stuff to look realistic. But hopefully it helps iceman not put those rims on that car...lol

I appreciate your help, N8. Now can someone please delete this thread. Sometimes the pictures in your head don't quite work out so well.

Its too bad. They're a nice looking wheel, just not on that car. They're really light too... only 19 lbs and change.

Here is the other wheel that I'm thinking about:

They're so new that they don't have any info on fitment or price yet... probably no luck.

keep the stockers or go with some nice multipiece wheels. what sort of wheel widths and offsets can u throw on there?

There aren't a whole bunch of choices. The cars use a weird bolt pattern... 5x120. I'm also thinking about a set of O.Z. Ultraleggeras and then keeping the stock wheels too. The stock 19's are heavy (30 lbs) and a set of 20 lb wheels does a lot for acceleration, braking, and handling. I shouldn't spring for a really expensive set of wheels because my fastback still needs a lot of funding too.

I like the stockers, but yeah that weight does make a difference....the BBS are nice I think they will look good, but I'm sure they will be expensive...

these would look real good on your beast... they the same style to kinda.. turns out you have the same bolt pattern as beemers.

I knew they were the same bolt pattern but I think the offsets are different so a lot of what fits a BMW won't fit my GXP.

I do like those wheels but they weigh the same or more than my stock ones. If I'm going to buy a wheel, it has to be light and good looking.

If money was no option, these would be my #1:

I'm making some calls tomorrow. If it sounds like they're going to clear the Brembos and fit, I might make a trip to Hayward. There's a shop there that sells them.
