Look real close...

Pontiac GXP wheel:

Holden GTS wheel:

And NO, I don't mean the badge(s)/emblem(s).

Please tell me you can see the difference...

Although yes they look very similar, I would take the Holden version over the Pontiac version anyday, and of course have the Pontiac emblem on the Holden version wheels.

The only difference I see is the V on the spokes comes to a point on the Holden wheels and it's rounded on the GXP wheels. I like the GXP wheels better because they are polished rather than dull on the Holdens.

I'm exactly the opposite. Go figure.

The Holden's spokes are also tighter together, so there is more space between the spokes at the tire side of the rim, where as the Pontica rim, has a bigger spaced triangle shape, and less space between the set of spokes. ( The angle of the triangle is different.)

But details, details.

I'd take the GXP wheels but colored like the Holdens. Either way those are gorgeous rims.

And Brunettes are the only way to go.
