Thanks for all the input thus far guys. I'm really torn between the first two and either a 18/19 setup or 19s all around.

I am torn between 1 and 2. 1 is classy no frills, and just looks sharp. 2 gives a little more visual "action" with the split.
I say go with.........1. no, 2. no, wait wait, 1.
Either will do just fine though. sharp purchase btw.

No rake, 19's all around... It's a new GTO after all, not a muscle car

I'm probably going to do the SP500s (#1) on my GTO. I don't really like the 505s on the GTO for some reason. Iforged Aeros without rivets would also look nice.

On your car, anthracite centers might even be cool.

My buddy is putting ideas in my head, LOL, SP500s or 505As or a Magnacharger.

I'm heavily leaning towards the SP500s simply because I'm trying to stay classy with the car and the SP500s opitimize that whereas the 505As are more sporty.

Anthracite looks awesome on SRM and would be easier to clean than fully polished... but still not sure.

Thats basically all the car will ever have: tint, wheels, and a Magnacharger. Keeping it bare bones to keep as a fun daily driver.

No supporting mods for the magnacharger? like exhaust and stuff? I saw a magnacharged GTO up at summit point with ONLY a magnacharger and I think the guy said it only put out 420rwhp.
