I've only seen the SP510s on them so far, but some 505a would be sick!

I think a split 5spoke rim with some curvature is the best looking style available.
The 505a is my all time favorite, along with the HRE 847, 547, etc.
But, I ain't giving HRE $10,000.
I'd rather give John at CCW a 1/4 of that.

CCW wheels are second to NONE in quality and price.

Are you guys checking the weight of these wheels?
Are you at least getting factory spec offsets?
The best you can buy are going to be CCW wheels.
I think the 505a is the best looking rim they have.
They are custom built from one solid piece of forged alumium (billet) and the 19x9 505a weighs ONLY 22lbs.
The 19x10.5 weigh ONLY 24lbs.
You can run a 255-35-19 and a 285-35-19 on the 19x9 and 19x10.5 above
Here are the SLP G8 Firehawk rims that are 19x8 and weight 28.3lbs.
Dave from SLP said those G8 Firehawk rims are NOT available for the aftermarket. Hopefully SLP will sell them down the road as a cost effective option for G8 wheels.

Doesn't really matter anymore. because GM is dead.
I told Dave Hamburg that Pontiac was dead last week.
But, he believed there would be hope.
Unfortunately, I knew better.
Regardless, we still have the best wheels available from CCW, headers from Kooks and American racing, and TVS blowers from Eaton.
