Want the wheels, not the car.

I love thick 5 spoke wheels like the stock GT 19s and camaro 20's. There are similar to the Camaro wheels but the seem more bulky, the spokes come out more, like the BMR wheels
of this GORGEOUS g8. What is it called front spacing? The Camaro Wheels come out but the spokes are flat as are the GXP wheels. I love this look.

You are right!! I love the look too.Thats why I just widened the sport 19's.Alot of the wheels I see on G8's do not look good.Aftermarket wheels can look great but carefully selected for sure.I almost went with some VMR that I think look great but decided to stick with wider OEM's

It looks like they have plastic brake rotors too. FAIL!

also not seeing any brake calipers...
They look nice, but looks like they are hubcaps. The wheels in the black and white pic look awesome!

I'll take one of these in the Volt blue please since it has real wheels and V8 power.

They are just the same style wheel the Volt uses from the factory increased in size if you take a closer look. Same style spokes etc.

Agreed!!! I just checked it out and the volt in my garage is exactly the same as in the pics.... maybe a bit smaller than the trasnformer ones..... These wheels are pretty nice I think....

The Volt wheels in the movie are just hub caps, yup, with fake rotors and no calipers to be seen. They did the same thing with the Camaro in the original, too. Check the pic on this Autoblog article (http://www.autoblog.com/2006/06/01/camaro-and-mustang-do-battle-in-transformers-the-movie/).
