Not bad looking wheels, they look really heavy though.

I like the look of those. I'm with you on wanting them darker, though.

Thanks fellas,I wanted them in black or black chrome but they are no longer making them.Rim size is 18x8,as far as being heavy not really worried about that mainly for looks lol(BLING BLING). I wanna powder coat the stock rims to black and rebadge it with the SS,but in black with red outline.Man gotta love tax season,LOL

Monteman,Yeah after I placed the rim next to the Imp I question myself if I wanted to get them in black.I like the way it looks with chrome,but still undecided(maybe leaning more towards chrome now)

SSGoat,Waz krackin pero...The 327 are a clean rim,but I didn't want to run sum dubs.If they came in 18x8 id be all over it.Might mount them up next wknd and make my decision then,if I want them powder coated or not...

I too have a GXP and I was thinking bout getting DUB Drone rims. They are 18x8 with a 45mm offset. Would it matter if I get 45mm offset all the way around? Would it mess with steering or cause vibrating??
