Choice number 2 FTW......the black GTO on ls2GTO.com w/ the hummer in the back really sold me. Those are the perfect wheels for the GTO. The others look good but just really dont fit the car as well.

I agree there is no wrong choice... still thinking the SP500s are super classy but am thinking they may have a bit more curve than the GTOs body has and the 505As are a better compliment to the car's lines... plus the GTO is subdued in styling and the 505As spice up the car a bit. Dont know, still 50/50 on them though.

What are everyone's thoughts on anthracite centers on my color car? They'd sure be easier to clean than a fully polished wheel but dont know if they'd really look right. Plus if I'm paying that much for wheels I think I'd rather have them blingin'.

FWIW, a chop job someone did for me on the SP500s (#1 wheel)... still hoping someone can come through with a chop on the 505As (the #2 wheel)...

I like the stock rims, but if you really want new rims, go with the first one. Do the 18s in the front and 19s in rear. That would be your best bet.
