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"

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.

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

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?
