great job hunting down those pics, Xanthos.

a couple edits though:
19" polished aluminum wheels are an option for both LT trims, according to the ordering guide
20" polished aluminum wheels are an option for all RS cars, according to the v5 specification book

Updated accordingly.

Updated post to include a picture of the machined 21 inch wheel. Just realized today that it was debuted on the yellow SEMA concept. As of now we are only missing pics of the 19 inch polished wheel and a good close up of the 18 inch painted wheel.

Are you sure the pictures you have for the two different 21-inch GMPP wheels are not of the same thing just on different cars? Maybe it's the angle, but I can't tell any difference between the finish of the two...

Absolutely 100% sure.

The finish is really close. One is lighter on the center 5 spokes/rim than the other. The accents are black on both.

So the main 5-spoke on the "black" rims is really more of a smoke finish. It's just with those angles and the background colors the black rims almost just looked like a different angle of the same rim below it.

Sort of. I think of it more as a black chrome than a painted black.

Yeah, it looks good. I'm just not sure if I'm ready to spend some extra cash on them just yet. I think I'll wait and see what the aftermarket has to offer before messing with the rims too much. I'm definately looking to go with the black finish on the rims though. We'll see soon enough

Xanthos · 01-28-2009, 01:07 PM

I'll just be painting the stock 18s like the wheel in my avatar. They'll be color matched to the stripes. Right now I plan on getting black, but if I get CGM they will be painted CGM instead.

I think the 20 inch wheels are the best looking

John VS · 04-23-2009, 09:40 PM

I had a hard time picking wheels. Really tempted to get the RS package but didn't want to pay nearly $300 for tires. Anyway, Xanthos post above was helpful except the one pic he couldn't find is the one I thought I wanted to order, the 19" polished.

Well, tonight my dealer got their first car. And, man, do these wheels look fantastic. The 19"s look big, real big. Here's a pic from my iphone:

I'm very pleased with my order.

Are they actually getting $3700 for these rims?

That is ridicoulous. Those are so damn hot though.

I ordered the 21s on a Black 2SS and a Victory Red 2SS - both 6 speeds. The price was well below the $5,000 mentioned above - sounds like dealer profit to me.

MMX_SS · 05-08-2009, 08:10 PM

Now that some cars have been delivered, has anyone had the chance to get the offsets and back spacing on the 20's? I really want my Black SS/RS to have black wheels.
