Brembos and TSW Rivage Rims
Recently picked up some used TSW Rivage Rims, BF Goodrich g-Force T/A KDW 2 tires and Brembo Brakes/Rotors for a "budget" upgrade (~ $2.4k)...not bad.
Everything is in great shape so I'm eager.
G8 is in storage for the winter but should be a fun project come springtime !

I may also do a small drop with springs and Koni strut upgrade......I'd rather not roll the lip but may be forced to...TBD
Rims:
19x8 front et 35 and 19x9.5 rear et 45
Tires:
245/40ZR19 front
285/35ZR19 rear
Gorilla locks and hub centric rings

Brakes:
CTS-V 6 pot front and 4 pot rear
2-pc 14.567" front rotors
14.37" rear rotors
These are all deceptively bigger than I expected...wow...lol.
The factory GT brakes were really great...just pulsating now needed rotors and pads anyways...and with the bigger wheels I'm sure they will do the job...
Just need brake lines and rear caliper bracket/P brake pads or may just go for SS Rotors if they prove out to be a direct swap.
