JHP might be able to get them for you. They probably will be expensive.

For as much as those cost, you could get a custom made 3-piece wheel that looks 10x better IMO, but they are nice though.

Does the G8 use the GTO's same f-ed up wheel bolt patterns? I assume offsets are different

the wheel studs are thicker on the G8 for a start

the center hub is different sized too, bigger I think. I believe the pattern is the same. I've seen some wheels being machined to fit (Down under I believe)

From what Aussie owners have told me, the bolt patter & offset are the same as the GTO. The center bore diameter is smaller than the GTO & the wheel studs are larger in diameter. As for the HSV wheels that the OP wanted, the 2 companies named have good reputations for U.S. owners (well, JHP does at least).

Damn and I was thinking maybe the BMW offsets would work.

well from what i've seen of the stock wheels, new wheels will be a must. i do not like to stock wheels at all.

Aftermarket is a must. Deep lip wheel selections for me will be limited with the extra high offsets.

Not really. CCW (http://www.ccwheel.com) has been doing awesome wheel sets for GTO owners for years. I wouldn't doubt that they will do the same for the G8. Plus, most of your high-end wheel makers will also. Fikse is my choice (http://www.fikse.com). :drool:
