Default Let's play "Name those rims"

They look like the wheels on the new G8 Pontiac.

Hmm...are the G8s even out yet? They do look really similar, but maybe because of the angle, the spokes on the GTO's rims don't look quite as "wide".

I believe they are only sold out of Australia, so someone had to have those shipped over.

Those are not the same wheels. Possibly PIAA wheels?

Probably HSV Commodore wheels. I don't know enough about Holden cars to say for sure, but the G8 is based on the Commodore, and it would make sense that the concept G8 would be sporting HSV wheels. Good luck finding them. Maybe try Ebay.

Yeah those are the Holden HSV wheels from Australia. I am sure he had them sent over. They do look pretty cool. I specifically remember seeing those wheels on some of their cars last year. But they look like they changed designs this year.
