: Drift R Pics
dodson914 04-19-2008, 04:07 PM Finally got around to taking some pictures.
I decided to go with the OEM sized 19's. Didn't feel like paying for tires just yet.
Looks like I will be needing to paint the brake calipers soon. :( Not something I really planned on doing. But, what are you going to do?
BTW, the stock 19's are pretty damn heavy.

Cashed 04-19-2008, 04:36 PM Lookin good! I need to paint my calipers, too. They have bad waterspots on them. To me, they look like Holden forgot to paint them. You know...rather than paint the calipers, just replace the whole setup with some fresh Brembos! Like your signature says, You gotta pay to play!

BSmith 04-20-2008, 03:24 PM Looks good! And I really like those exhaust tips...
G8addict 04-21-2008, 11:55 AM Why you still got those dealership decals on your G8?
dodson914 04-21-2008, 11:58 AM Why you still got those dealership decals on your G8?
Because, I have been too lazy to bother with them. I was planning on doing it before I waxed the car. But, we've been so busy every weekend morning that I haven't had time. It's been too hot to wax after 11am. :( Hopefully this weekend I can get around to it.
LS2GTO 04-21-2008, 12:18 PM You can't go wrong with drift-rs! That's one wheel that's still on my top 5 rim list.
What color will you paint the calipers?
Your car looks killer dodson914 and thanks for sharing!

I think I am going to go with red. I think if I did black it would just look dirty. The center caps on the wheels have red in them and I have the red inserts. So red it is. I just need to get the motivation up to do them.
Cashed 04-21-2008, 01:03 PM The GTO calipers were red (05-06 anyways) and they look real good. Especially on black cars!
Rue_G8GT 04-21-2008, 03:23 PM Wheels look great man! Some tire shine on the tires will do wonders. I'm amazed at how great Stolen Fox's axlebacks sits so perfect. The ride looks great overall man! Great job. :)
GroupAWheels 04-22-2008, 01:58 PM The car looks great! Besides the Commodores that already have the Drift-R on them in Australia, yours is the first Pontiac G8 in the U.S.A. with the Drift-R on it.
If you ever want to bump to a 9.5 or 10 in the Drift-R when you wear out your tires down the road, we have that as well.

Sweet! I will definitely be in touch when these tires wear down.
StolenFox 04-22-2008, 02:19 PM Chris, the car looks awesome!!!!
By the way, where did you get those great looking.................exhaust tips? :D
Seriously, your G8 is exactly how i'd have mine. The Drift-R's in black are a knockout!
S.F.

Any plans to make Drift R in 20"s for the G8???

Yes there is. They just aren't out yet.
LS2GTO 04-28-2008, 12:18 PM Yes there is. They just aren't out yet.
:yumyum::bubbrubb::thumbsup: Great news!
I got many compliments when I had 19"s drift-r in black on my black GTO. I can't wait to see what drift-r in 20"s look like.
Any pricing on the 20"s yet?
simplegto 05-01-2008, 05:10 PM I hope i can make the Drift Rs from my GTO fit the G8 st when I get one. I hate to part with them.
