Cost for them on your G8? Most 3 piece wheels run around the same price point.

I have the exact same DPE SP16 wheels being made for my '06 Viper right now. Anyone needing a quote, I'm a dealer for DPE!

www.dpe-wheels.com

As an example quote, the Signature Series (any style) 3-piece in typical Camaro sizing of 22x9 and 22x11 would be $5000 shipped. If you wish to keep your factory tires, a set of 20x8.5 and 20x10 would cost $4450 shipped.

PM or email me for your order today

Tony

You should come thru to some of the Camaro meets the SoCal guys have. Won't see me there til I get my car though. No way I'm showing up in my wife's Honda Insight.
