I prefer option #2 with its subtle lip. If they come in color match, I would say it's a clear winner for your "v" (vehicle). I

I like the wheels in your avitar the best. Nothing looks better than the stock 19s, IMO.

But if I HAVE to choose one of your options, I like Option 3, followed closely by Option 2

Blah! Stock wheels IMO are butt ass ugly. They could have at least used the wheels that are on the V6.

I vote for pic #4 they match your car really nice.

Well I think that I have narrowed my choice down to these two.

I was thinking about getting 19x8.5 in the front and 19x9.5 in the rear. What offsets do I need and will I have any issues with tire rub in the rear? Also, has anyone purchase the tps sensors from Tirerack? Just wondering if they do work with the G8's system. Anybody have any opinions as to the best all-season tires to get?

I wouldnt say to get any of those, they are all pretty ugly.

Well, I finally made a decision and decided to go with the Breytons. I am amazed as to how these transformed the look of the car. I was also surprised to find out that even though I went with the stock tire size, the new tires are noticeably wider. Here are some pics.
