lol If only it took me damn near a year too find wheels that would actually fit on the GTO that everyone didnt have and let me tell you i had to put on my flame suite on the GTO forums when i went with 20's. The GTO's are not very wheel freindly as they have an funky BMW bolt pattern and fubared offsets.

I bought my GTO new and while i'll say this there tough, believe it or not i have damn near 92k on it and am on my stock clucth and breaks and i do or did drive it hard but most of my driving was highway. But i give it props cause i used to be a Mustang fanatic after owning over 13 and I used to eat T5 tranny's (manals for lunch) but it keeps trucking. Now after saying that with GTO's the corvette tax is laughable parts are a ***** to get and nothing is cheap i had mine sitting for 6 months cause i was tired of fecking with it. damn near everything has to come from australia minus hard core mechanicals. get into an accident with one might as whell right it off as getting body parts and supporting hardware will take forever and you will pay a premium if you cant get them used. It took over a month to get a seat track for mine 3 years ago. I hold on to it cause im tired of trading and making endless payments. But if you evervisit or frequent a GTO forum it takes next to nothing to total these cars out due to parts and all sorts of BS and out of the 50+ cars ive owned in the rain god help you, you do a hail mary and pray for jesus. I just usually pull over and take a nap. But if you really must have one check out ls1gto.com if i wasnt so already invested in it it dont know if i would have it, but as it was only imported 3 years and i have the last year with the factory 18's and all options and tired of dumping money it would probably be gone. But I was the first he turn the key on it and probably the last so ts still here. But if i were looking at a used one i would probably buy a C5Zor even a regular c5 and never look back

aussies always do some funky stuff
cant believe holden uses BMW bolt pattern
but i can see how the offset is weird since the body panels are quite unique on the GTO
i definitely like your daytona though
concave seems to be it these days

I nearly went another way that i was comprimising on. But afte the clown flackd out i said feckit and ponied up the difference. And honestley Viper reps have been done before. But i have never seen them on a torred red in competition gray and i searched and searched and searched. i know i may not be the first but its the first ive seen and i looked hard. and i think they look or complemet the look great
