I am ready for your visit again…
So just to note..

 Just purchased these MSR rims, they are 18x8 (35mm offset).

I was a bit concerned on the rear (via rubbing….clearance etc..)…but it all worked out.
Car is wrapped with 235/50/18s all around using Hankook Ice Bears…
Not a Jimmy 4X4…but..I am ready …

It took me awhile to make up my mind on what rims...and tire set up i would use...
Post some research...towards our GREAT CANADIAN Winters..!! here is what i have come up with...

What do you guys think?
Comments are much appreciated..

Frank…

That looks double tuff to me, but I've always been as sucker for black wheels. I love the hood vents as well. The color stripe on the rim is a nice touch and the overall look is definitely "all business"...like a Mad Max machine ready to kick butt and take names.

Throw the snows on the GXP wheels and run these ones in the summer.

Seriously though, these wheels are beautiful.

I'm generally not a fan of that kind of spoke design, but with those drilled rotors looking back at you I could get over that. I think this is a classic example of why Bob Lutz should be skewered for his whole "BMW" image for Pontiac...This car look more badazz than any Beemer I've ever seen.

btw, where did you get those way cool "LS4" door badges?
