Chris I like the top wheel, but wouldn't do full polish. I see the center section darker or machine finish.

I think you should go with the G cubes.






I'm a little biased.

The tires are 295/35/18 in the rear and 235/40/18 in the front. I'll work on a bigger picture.

Okay guys...still hunting. Still like the G cube...but am now looking at other options. So...what do you think of these? Either set will cost me about $3,800 shipped with tires. These are much more than the Intro...but a whole other look too. Here is the lat-g link to the car.

I think the black center would look Billy Bad Butt on this...while the silver center would be neat and clean. The car needs a new attitude that it just isn't getting with the C5 wheels.

Thanks man...

does anybody know the exact maximum size and offset you can stuff in there on a stock suspension?

I get a little rub in the rear under hard turning or hitting bumps when I have the rear seat full of people - not enough to be an issue with the stock rear 18" C5 wheels

The front rub when I turn at a decent speed, or if I go into a drive or some sort of bump up. I assume 7" rim in the front with a 235 40 18 might stop that...but in the rear I would like to keep it maxed.

I'm going back to a stock width rear axle - would like to go 10 x 19 on the rim...and am curious about back spacing.
