I got bored today and photo shopped some wheels on my G8 (also added a drop). I didn't feel like fixing the gap left from dropping the car so I made a banner. The wheels are off year one's Burt Reynolds Edition TransAm.

Doesn't look bad, but a bit busy for my taste :)

I think they look decent but I also think the gold takes away from the look a little. Maybe if they were silver or possibly painted a gray.

I like it as its the traditional old school Pontiac look. No gold though.

I agree %100 about the gold. This just came out of sheer boredom, rather than a want for these wheels. The reason for using them was like Grrrr8 said they have the traditional old school Pontiac look. I couldn't find any other pontiac design done on a modern wheel.

Would those even fit? I really like how they look.

Nevermind, it looks like they custom make these to fit your vehicle. Only available up to 18" though.

What about the hood in scoop in lieu of the nostrils?

I don't care what anyone says, that looks sick.

Yes it does! Put some gold stripes on there and pick up Sally Fields

Not so, they are available in 19's and 20's too. They are also available with black centers instead of gold. I think the gold centers would look sooooo clean on a white G8. The price is very good too.

I kinda of dig the look. I had the B4U pkg on my early 90's black GP and it had the gold wheel option. They looked good, but was a bitch to keep clean. Nothing like slowing you down when you have to clean each wheel with a tooth brush

I'd like to see the gold on a Stryker Blue G8. I think it'd look sweet! Photochop anyone?! :)

I think black would look awesome too! anyone? what off set would you need? I would love to do a test fit for yearone!

I think a set with the silver centers would look awesome on a black G8. I wanna see someone with a real set installed but i like the photoshop of these, better than about 95% of the aftermarket wheels ive seen on G8s

i love the look...but $3200+ for a set of 19's would be a good reason for getting some Forgeline or CCW's instead.

I like the look but woudl have to be silver or black...no gold...would look good tucked under the back..
