I voted for #1 because they look badass, clean and mean. #2's are also very nice, but not quite as good as the SPs. The #3 option is definaly not my style, they don't look right on there. They don't look as agressive as the first 2...

Damn...I would have to say #2... Picking out nice looking wheels without breaking the bank for the GTO is tough.

#1, I hate #2 because the rim sticks out too much like a fwd. #3 deserves to be shot....

SRM is a classy color, black wheels arent getting near it. #1 and #2 are from the same wheel maker, would have the exact same lip sizes front and rear, and would have the same offsets as well. The only difference is the style.

I can't believe how many choose number one, imho, those wheels don't match the car at all.. I'd choose number 2.

Personally, I love the way the stock GTO rims looks on the car, they make the car IMO. I love them. I read tons of thread of people putting rims on them, and I love the stock look. The wide 5 spokes just set the car off great. IMO keep them stock, and get the car tuned instead. I love the stock rims, and vote to keep those

I prefer the stock 18" wheels. But of the 3 listed above, I definitely prefer #2 (a painted version would look good on SRM), especially the yellow GTO with the side exhaust. A Pontiac arrowhead on the center cap would really look good.
