Default g8 wheels on an impala ss

ok guys im thinking about getting new rims for the spring time. I have always loved the design of holden wheels, but cant afford to buy the then ship them from australia lol. So i found the http://www.hubcaphaven.com/mm5/merch...gory_Code=2877 they are g8 replicas that are very similar. i would like to get them and put the holden center cap in there. i know i would need adapters, but i was wondering if you think it would be worth it

Umm, I'd double check what you're ordering there. That picture is of the G8 GT show car's wheel.

To clarify, the G8 GT show car was sporting 20" HSV VE GTS wheels (20x8.5 front - 245/35R20 95Y - and 20x9.5 rear - 275/30R20 97Y). And considering the description states "1 Single ALY6638 Pontiac G8 '08-'09, 18x8, 5 lug, 10 spoke machined alloy wheel," you're probably getting the following craptastic wheel:



All the G8 wheels for reference: http://www.finishlinewheels.com/PONTIAC/G8/2009/

20" HSV VE GTS wheel:

so it wouldnt work anyway. i know ill get flamed for this, but i think that they look similar to the speed3 wheels, nissan maxima, or altima SE-R. i think the altima ser is the best match. not a perfect match but theyre similar and the right bolt pattern. i like them.


heres a link for them, but theyre crazy expensive. but they are 18x8 and the right bolt pattern. dont know the offset or anything, and the ones in your pic appear to be powder coated black on the insides so if you wanted a closer match youd have to powder coat these as well.

G8 wheels won't fit on an Impala SS. The bolt pattern is wrong (5x120) and the G8 is rear wheel drive so the offset is wrong.
