New wheel choices ~ ~ ~ opinions needed

Post by l77 »

Been browsing GM website looking for some wheel options, looks like 5x120 patterns become common in their lineup lately. I always prefer OEM wheels for the 'factory' look and quality concerns . . . plus you can always find a matching chevy center cap. Input / opinions needed for the following choices ~ ~ ~ which will look best on our car?

#1 CTS-V 19" polished

#2 XTS 19" polished

Image

#3 REGAL GS 19" polished

Image

#4 IMPALA 19"

Image

#5 CTS 18" polished

Image

#6 MALIBU 18"

Image

#7 CAMARO ZL1 20"

I really like the GXP/CTS style - a nice looking forged factory wheel. They make it with a graphite finish I think looks particularly good. I haven't really looked at the FWD choices, but I always liked the looks of the forged Regal GS wheel. Will the offset work on our cars?

Yes they fit, however I just don't see Regal owners get rid of their wheels like Camaro owners do so availability is limited.

Unfortunately, BBS doesn't sell the style wheels for the CTS-V race cars, but I found some that are very close to the design...

HRE P101(pictured) and S101's...


Or MMR GT8's...
