nice!!

I don't think the stock wheels are too bad.. the 18's look like the stock GTO 17's, and the 19's look like the stock GTO 18's, which are sexy sexy. :) I like the 19's and the GXP wheels. The 18's are only good for slicks. :)

I like the wheels, They are different but in a good way in my opinion. I thought they were machine faced? Hm I need to look into that once the car gets to the dealer. Best thing I ever did was sit down with the salesman and tell him what I exactly want.

Nope, they are not machined faced :-(

Mine are though. But only because a 3rd party company took them and machined them down to give that luster and then painted them black....
(They are the stock 18s that came with the car too)

I see you found a white one, good job! The 19" wheels have a machined face, the 18's have a machined surface on the raised lip around each spoke.

Congrats marcslet23! I liked the 19" wheels over the 18" or the GXP wheels.

Ya, even the V6 takes an ungodly amount of oil for a V6.

I think it took just over 7 quarts last time i had an oil change.

The G8 has a high performance motor so it needs more oil to run cooler and lubricate it at higher RPM's.

Dave (DuBob) spoiled me... I met up with him yesterday for some winter wheels for the GTP and got to ride in his GXP, gah it's such an awesome car!

Congrats on your buy :) Make sure you bring the pictures!
