Ah.. None of the above. The First wheel is something you find on a pickup truck. The other two are just to Bling, Bling for my taste. I prefer the following myself.

Ah, Nickv, I like both of those. The Malibu Chrome look like the classic Cragar SS wheels.

Whatever I end up getting, I think they need to be chrome. The car definitely needs to "shine" more.

I like the general style of your first rim above, but would suggest a slightly different version of it...



These are CHAMP 800's by Centerline.

Maybe I only like them because of the name...

Actually, I really do like them.

I would be curious to see 18" cragars on it. I'll try a little Corel job and post.

I actually like the stock wheels, just need a polished version.

YES, YES, YES, humbler, that's the pic I needed to see. (I have the Torrid Red.) And I agree the Cragar SS is now my first choice. That looks sweet.

I have called a local plating company to see if they can chrome plate the OEM alloy wheels. Several people have said they'd like the OEM wheels if they were chrome. I don't know if it is possible to do that. They haven't called me back yet.

If they can't, anyone want to buy a spare set of OEM alloy wheels for their '04 Goat?

Rear: 18x9" with 275/35/18

Those are sharp, Howie. Did you have to do any fenderwell mods to make the 18" wheels fit? How 'bout the wider tires in back? My state has a law that the tires cannot extend a certain distance beyond the fender.

They fit perfectly inside the fenders and no rolling of your fender lip either. 18's actually fit and look better than 17's on the GTO. If you're interested in a set, contact me.

Those wheels are Intro Vistas, aren't they?
I think they'd look pretty nice on an early GTO as well.

I like the standard HSV GTO wheels:



They are a tribute to the original Monaro's wheels:

Hey, Monaro, those wheels on the silver Monaro with the SVGEN-3 tags would, I belive, look good on my Red/Black M6 with the tinted windows. Are the HSV OEM wheels? How much would a set cost me, including shipped from Down Under?
