Not sure.... but I think I have the itch to change the wheels on my GTO......

I am staying with 15" ..... I have no intention of tracking or auto-x ...... and I dont want any harsher of a ride...

Current look:

The wheels I am thinking of are the Weld S71's in Black

82647

Would love some thought and ideas....

And anyone with some mad photoshop skills, feel free to help me out...

Thank you

Wheels are a personal decision. Here's what the 15" Weld's would look like on your car:

Here they are in an 18ish:

Switching to an 18" wheel was one of the most noticeable performance upgrades I have done to my Camaro. If it were me, I'd go larger, but that's up to you.

Thank you for the photoshop....

The car handles so well with all the mods I have done..... (Hotchkis, Bilstein, UMI, etc.....) I am satisfied where it is.....

Those wheels do make the car look meaner.... Plus I am adding the Red Wilwood D52 Calipers, and I can now show them off.....
