Has anyone got any info on the exact wheel specs on the GXP's? The GXP has a few bits of dna from Holdens HSV line so I'm hoping we'll get this as an option if not standard. With so many nice features the HSV has, it's a shame the GXP doesn't get the full on HSV package.


Here's what it says on it's site. They look very simular to the GXP wheels.

"In another Australian first, every GTS features huge 20" Deep Dish alloy wheels in Chrome Shadow with a radical 3-dimensional, sharp triangular design as standard. New optional Pentagon Spoke design also available. Wider rear wheels maximise grip – Front 20" x 8", Rear 20" x 9.5". Reverse mounted technology sets the standard in style and road presence. One-piece casting for increased strength. Exclusively designed and developed Bridgestone tyres 245/35 R20 front, 275/30 R20 rear provide optimum levels of performance and grip."

Do we really need 20" wheels.

I remember toys like that when I was a kid.

Large wheels look stupid.

I wish the had 32" wheels for F1 racing..............

The GXP rides on 19-inch polished aluminum wheels with a special machined face. Performance-oriented summer P245/40R19 tires are standard, and a comparable all-season tire is available. Combined with the suspension and steering enhancements, this setup gives the GXP exceptional cornering grip.

doesn't look like the GXP will be getting the same brakes from the HSV's (but will be larger than the GT) so wont be able to run the staggered offset like the HSV's do
