I am preparing to order/locate a 2005 GTO and am interested in the factory optional 18" wheels (option N87). Would anyone post a picture of these wheels, please? The website does not offer a photo... or do they look exactly like the 17" version.

This forum is excellent... and this will be my second goat... my first was a 1966.

Thanks in advance.

Swapped?

Funny....I can't access the "other" site while I'm at work. Gotta love this one!! Are the 18's only available on cars that you custom order, or can they be swapped on the lot??

I dunno. 1300 smackers for pancake flat wheels that weigh 29 pounds a piece? I can think of a bunch of more appealing options.

The Mille Miglia that Tire rack sells look almost the same as these, and they are less than 200 bucks a piece!

I think that the Pontiac center even fits in them!

I hear ya!!! I called Tire RACK and they said they don't have any wheels yet that fit the 05 Goat....things that make you go hmm.....

That can't be right....

That's kinda funny because: http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/DisplayWheelOnCars.jsp?CImageNumber=4

Seems they can get a real life picture of an '05 wearing them.

go to the Pontiac GTO website... "build your pontiac". they are $495 when you order your new gto and are a factory order. they come with summer only performace tires. the option is well priced... tires alone are worth the upgrade. check it out:

oh yeah... the '05 GTO brouchure is very cool. they have detailed photos and include the 18" wheels on many of the cars featured within the brouchure.

I'll have to see if I can "con" my dealer into putting the 18's on instead of the 17's. Otherwise, I'll dig up some aftermarkets...somewhere! Thanks!!!

The Tire Rack only have a few for the Goat. But they show quite a few for the BMW 3 Series which sports the same lug pattern and offset as the GTO. I ordered my 19" Mille Miglias from 330Ci selections and the fit was perfect. Even the hub center is the same diameter.
