I know changing the wheels on the GXP is not a popular thing to to do but I thought this wheel was a nice look. It's simple yet gives the car a slightly meaner look. The black around the spoke is an insert that I won't be adding. The wheels should be here by Tuesday. I'll post pics when I get them on the car.

WHy do you think its not a pop thing to do??? Its your car, do what you want to it and make it stand out to you, no one else.

I think IMHO, those rims are alot better then stock.

Most GXP drivers (at CGP) have a "my wheels are holier than thou" attitude b/c they're "alcoa forged" or something (although the new ones are not, iirc). IDK. I like their stock wheels, but there are ALWAYS better options out there. Also, since he upgraded to 20's on a "performance" car, he already expected some flaming.

As an owner of 20's...I'm all for it! Nice choice, TML...good for you
