    Pic I snapped today.



    Lately we've been getting some much damn snow up here that I haven't been able to do anything with the car. My next project is to have my spindles drilled out so I can use the new cts-v calipers and rotors. Rotors are 14.5" and I know they'll be a huge upgrade for me.

    Nice rims, but why does the front rim look bigger than the rear?

    Probably because the front wheel is slightly turned. They're 20x9 all around.

    Yeah, I figured the photo was messing with me. Been a long day. Those rims make it look like a BRUTE.

    Thanks, after you said that I looked and sure enough I was thinking the same thing. Ride doesn't feel much different from the stock rims and wheels and I can tires much MUCH cheaper than the 19's that came with it. I paid 220 shipped for two tires as opposed to 220 for one tire alone. Huge difference.

    Here's a few more pics, gotta love the snow...not.....

    How does the G8 handle in the snow? Been tossing the idea around about selling my Comp G and getting a G8!

    If you don't have a good set of snow tires then the G8 is as useless as tits on a bull in the snow. I found that out the hard way the first winter I had it.
