My GTO is the exact same color. I think this setup looks good. What do you guys think? It is either these are black ROH Drift R's with the polished lip.

I agree that black might look better, but those look pretty good IMO. Looks like it needs to be lowered though, but those aren't great pics.

Yeah, I think the black ROH wheels would look good on my Cyclone Grey.

Here are the black ROH Drifts on a silver car for comparison.



The only difference is that those are 19"

I like them. Subtle and you can still see the wheel details unlike balck.

Same here. The problem is that the wheel selection for the GTO is limited because of its bolt pattern and offset. I am not sure what I am going to do yet

Bolt pattern yes, but the offset has to be particular or the tires will rub. And I am not looking to spend $500 per wheel either.

I drive a 4th gen f-body so you're preaching to the chior. Sure there are choices, but many are just flat played out.

Yeah, I also have an F-body. But from what I understand, the bolt pattern on the F-body allows many more wheels to be used, no? All I know is, I hate the stock 17"s on the GTO.

Well, as far as wheel width goes, the GTO's are at a huge disadvantage.

I am ordering the thruxtons. 18x8 wrapped in 245/40/18 g-Force T/A KDW II NT rubber. They come mounted and balanced and ready to be bolted onto the car. Total out the door is about $1870. Good deal?
