13 days to get blown? I beat that number by 12 days with my ex GF!

Nice car, by the way. The white looks classy!

Good looking car

I can't remember where I posted it but I had asked if the G8 system would work on the new Camaro. If it does and would only need minor changes for it to work I might just have to buy a system for my G8 and swap it over once I get the new Camaro

The wheels I sell are custom made to fit. Hard to get any pics since it seems none of the G8 owners buy nice wheels.

Dealer for:

www.bozeforged.com
www.Forgeline.com
www.dpe-wheels.com
www.fikse.com
www.rushforthwheels.com
www.iforged.com
www.sevasforged.com
www.360forged.com

For the G8, I would find a wheel with straight tapered spokes. This will match the sharp edges of the car. No curvy shaped spokes. Either a simple 5-spoke w/ rivets, or a nice multi-spoke that still looks performance inspired will work. Basically, if it looks good on a BMW, it will probably look good on the G8.

Suggestions (lower price range) would be the Sevas R5 or R77

Next price range would be iForged "Challenge", Boze "Mesh", DPE "R07-S"
