Default VMR rims on an f-body

These are pretty much BMW rims, but they look fantastic on GTO's. This is another option I currently have and cannot find any pictures of f-bodies with these rims, just GTO's.

So again, if you have any pictures of f-bodies sitting on these rims... PLEASE give me a post up. They look like this...

Yeah, very similar to the 111's. My biggest question is will the aftermarket GTO rims fit on an f-body? There is a lot of speculation as to whether they will fit or not. People have said that they have had to dremel their rims to fit them on. Personally I would rather not have to dremel brand new rims... lol

This is the size chart that it gives.

Size Offset Bolt Pattern Centerbore
18x8.5 ET40 5x120 72.56
18x9.5 ET45 5x120 72.56
19x8.5 ET40 5x120 72.56
19x9.5 ET45 5x120 72.56
19x10 ET38 5x120 72.56
20x9.0 ET35 5x120 72.56
20x10.0 ET35 5x120 72.56

I considered those exact same brand rims in 18's but didn't want to go the extra to correctly bore the lug pattern from 5x120 to 5X120.7mm. Still a good looking wheel!

The rep from their site said that they should work just fine being just .65mm off.

I have those wheels on my GTO. They would fit on a f-body, but i would at least upgrade the wheel studs.

I haven't looked in to it too much. But ARP studs would be at the top of the list.

Can anyone hook me up with a shop job, just to roughly gauge how they would look on my car?

Here are a few pics...

I think they would look very good in an f-body.

look like VMR V718's. the same wheels im planning to put on my G8. i am hesitant about mixing bolt paterns 120 vs 120.65 but some people arent. They would look good though plus the 18x9.5 +45 wheels coupled with a 5mm spacer will let you run the CTSV brake up front!
