Slizzo 07-05-2008, 12:04 AM Cheapies, but slightly similar:

That's about all I could find on TireRack. You may have to source something from Ozzie-land... Which may be very pricey.

not bad a find (wonder why I never saw those):confused: and DAMN, they be Cheap!..
BUT, not quite close enough for my liking, I'm sure one company in the aftermarket makes something a little closer...
I don't think these can be sourced from Ozz... as the VXR8 is from Europe:cursin:
i'll keep lookin' thanks for the effort so far, Hofully some others can get in on this aswell:wink2:
They are the exact wheels off a HSV Clubsport R8. JHP have them but they don't have a picture or price on them. Send them a email and I'm sure they'll get you a quote
Cashed 07-05-2008, 08:46 AM those look a lot like the wheels on the G8GT concept car (sorry, I dont have a pic, but I think pedders does on their website...link to the left). I did check with JHP and they get them on occassion. apparently they were only offered for a short time (??) so therefor hard to find. in other words...get ready to fork over some dough for an OE set. The G8 GXP concept sports the same wheels...only in chrome.
Crossing my fingers that some are offered by and aftermarket company...
Maplehawk 07-05-2008, 10:41 AM I have exactly these wheels on my 2007 BMW 328xi coupes as winter wheels. They are good quality and I give 10 out of 10 for Tire Rack. I have my winters on them.

Actually thats not correct. The rims in the photo above were offered on the Vauxhall VXR8 and the HSV Clubsport R8. The rims on the G8 GXP show car are similar to the HSV GTS rims but are not the same. And the rims on the G8 Concept are the same as the GTS rims.

which are you taking about? the ones I'm talking about, or the ones from te first reply??
Miakehl 07-06-2008, 11:36 AM I'm looking for a set of the 20s off the HSV GTS to look exactly like the G8 concept. Anyone know where to get a set or if JHP has them? Also, If I use the HSV wheels, could I find a Pontiac center cap?
SteveXKR 07-06-2008, 01:44 PM i'm wanting the same thing. shipping is a b!tch though

Now to see if there is a US/Canada distributer..:judge:
SteveXKR 07-06-2008, 07:40 PM lol the GTS wheels are even more.. like 4300 AUD.. OUCH

Srsly, I can set one on Sevas 20/22s and 555s for 3300Usd.
I'd be able to find an aftermarket wheel I like a lot more for a lot less. I guess Sevas is my choice.

The ones Slizzo linked to.
