The wheels are available now if anyone is interested in them and they can be ordered threw GM Roadster. Please remember the $650 price is a discounted cost that we extend to our club members. We also offer the Nexen N3000 Z-rated tires at a cost of $445 landed at your door.
I personally have a staggered set of the N3000 on my car 245/45/ZR18 in the front and 275/40/ZR18 in the rear.

I'd certainly like to go with the staggered setup, but I have to wear down my current set before I'll opt for a new set of tires. Too much Scottish blood in me. Timing is everything on the wheels though. I figure that I should wait a couple of weeks to order so that I'm assured that my wife is out-of-town when they are delivered. Just too much effort explaining why I need a new set of wheels on a brand new car (if you know what I mean). What's the order processing and approximate delivery time to North TX on these?

Enkei makes a rim.. WDM is the name of the rim, and it's under the performance section on their website. It's the closest I've seen to the turbine look. They also make a ARASHI rim that is similar.. Not as nice though.

Jeff,
Delivery should take no more than 7 days as long as they are in stock.

I got mine today and they look great. I'm going to wait about a week or so to put them on but once I do I will give you all pictures.
Did I mention they look great!
I cannot wait to get them on and put another 5000 miles on it because I'm showing off

Pontiac symbol overlays all around.
VIN 100541 - Drove it home 7/13/07. As of today; 26,000 Miles
The exact ones in the picture are prototype wheels. I was at the saab dealership when some one asked about getting a pair. The parts guy was like we can put some thing similar but not the same.
I notice that you have the "Cool" solstice, as do I, so which finish would look better on our cars; the gunmetal or the chrome for the ADR Propulsion?

Jeff,
It all depends if you like contrast….you have a lighter colored roadster so if you went with the “Hypersilver” color it will be the same color as your car. The “Gun Metal” is a bit darker but honestly not by much. I have the gun metal on my black solstice as seen in the pictures for contrast. Your call but I personally think the gun metal is the way to go with the color of your car…..
Just my $.02
Martin

Yep, I've been waffling on that and frankly it's hard to tell which I would like better unless I saw it on a similar car. I have a good idea what the chrome would look like but not really what the gunmetal would look like. By the way, any problem with shipping to a different address than the billing address?
FYI: I was watching the Fantastic 4, Silver Surfer with my grandson last night and in one scene where Johnny Storm is getting out of his sports car at his sister's wedding, they show these same wheels on his car. Looks mighty nice.
