Finally Got New Rims for the G, Check it out

Ive been shopping for about a year looking for the right rims at the right price and finally found some that I liked. Once I got them on the car I was like wow! I think they look great and gave me the same feeling as when I first bought the car. You know that feeling that you are walking up to a bad *** ride whenever you return to it when its parked. Anyway, here are the rims, the shop did a great job of packing...


They are Petrol Octanes 20x8.5 and 20x10



Here we are installing in my garage



..and here she is looking all good!





Let me know what you think!

Yea, they remind me of the TSW Nogaro rim but in a star shape form. Not liken them to much, you can use a 10mm spacer in the rear and 5mm in the front along with a drop.

Thanks for the feedback guys. There's an outfit in Carson, CA selling them on ebay for $2499, with Falken tires preinstalled, laser balanced and filled with Nitrogen. Just search for 'petrol octane' on ebay.

I had never heard of them either, I think they are a new company but I decided to take a chance and Im glad I did. The car rides solid and smooth. Handles corners super tight and thankfully the ride is not rough at all. That was my main concern. The rim is a forged rim but has an insert on the lip that gives it that 3 piece look.

For more info:

F*ck that, just because the company is not known doesnt mean they cant make quality rims. Those rims are sick and unique. It needs a slightly bigger drop and that coupe is money
