Option four... if you were going to shoot me if I did notpicksmething else,option 1.
supersport79 07-29-2008, 10:38 PM 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
888GT#31 07-30-2008, 09:20 AM Id go with opt. 6 or if you must have lip opt. 2.
Italiano 07-30-2008, 10:21 AM option 3
:pimp:
foreosu 07-30-2008, 10:26 AM 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.
888GT#31 07-30-2008, 10:55 AM Haha, looks like you are going to have a mixed bag of data here 132! :)
chiefpontiac 07-30-2008, 12:07 PM #7, but in black instead of red (can you get gray?)
UltraMagnus 07-30-2008, 02:35 PM Option 6. By the way, what wheels are those?
Russo 07-30-2008, 03:00 PM 6 or 7
RumblingG8 07-30-2008, 03:41 PM I like option 6, don't like the red on 7.

mlott132 07-31-2008, 08:27 PM 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?
Toreadorranger 08-01-2008, 12:07 AM I wouldnt say to get any of those, they are all pretty ugly.
mlott132 09-08-2008, 08:14 PM 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.

roSSco 09-08-2008, 08:28 PM I like those a lot!
You see it on shirts, you have heard on TV, and now you see it on g8board "Thats Hawt".
Slizzo 09-09-2008, 02:33 PM That does look good! Are those 18"s?
mlott132 09-09-2008, 04:49 PM All are 19x8.5 with 245/40-r19 Goodyear Eagle GT all season tires.
