Default New Wheels - Holden Special Vehicles (HSV) GTS 20s

My G8 is now sporting 275s out back, they way HSV meant it to be.

















I was inspired to get Magnetic Grey and these wheels by GM's awesome looking G8 show car they unveiled back in 2007.

Eventually I want to get silver badging for the exterior, a drop (if I can find a set of springs that retain the smooth ride) and maybe the shiny caps for the mirrors to complete the look.

i was thinking the same thing lol. but definatly looks sweet, love the G8's. only other sedan i'd get would be the CTS. but for budget V8 power would be this or the GXP. then theres the CTS-V but i see the V going for 60+

Directly off the website:

HSV VE GTS
20"
Set of 4 $3,900
with Bridgestone Tyres $6,860

Yeah wow. Plus shipping I believe so the price was most likely quite high. Someone in the states needs to make a knock off.

Nice but way too expensive. I'd get a nice set of forged wheels for that kind of money.
