What do you guys/gals think of these wheels?

	SolsticeSteve Member Join Date: Nov 2005 Location: Charlotte, NC	You have to click the link, change the car color to aggressive and click the Motegi DV5. I like to black on red look but need opinions. http://www.tirerack.com/upgrade_gara...6&autoModClar= Thanks, Steve __________________ Aggressive #111914 Picked up 3/14/06 Magnaflow / GM CAI / Motegi Wheels / Short Antenna / Painted Calipers with Solstice

Agree but thought they look too close to stock

	jimbo Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2004 Location: Yuba City, California .... The BIG Cowpie!	On first reaction, not really my style. Second reaction, it actually works fairly well. Third reaction, yeah, I can see that. It looks like wheels you might see on a racing version. Yeah, that works. Still not my style, but yeah, definitly works on the red car. Go for it. FWIW, of the 5 available I like the OZ GT's the best. __________________ Solstice GXP Coupe You still don't need a trunk to haul ass... even at Red Rock Canyon in Las Vegas!

	Pterosaur Member Join Date: Jul 2005	Wasn't going to replace my rims but those Borbet LS's might make me change my mind. Wish I could see 'em in the flesh but the pic is next best thing. New tires for the summer and new wheels? gotta check that bank balance...

Traditional Curmudgeon Join Date: Oct 2005 Location: Running Wisconsin	The only problem I see is that all the wheels listed that show on offset are showing +40 while the standard wheels on the Solstice are +55.

	LS2 Solstice Member Join Date: Nov 2005 Location: Melvindale MI	I wanted black with a polished lip for a while, but everyone is doing that, and there is already one in range of me that way. That's why I chose these rims. I have them on order, and they should be here by the end of June. http://www.billetwheel.com/cgi/wheel...& img=29&tn=1 Jay __________________ http://memimage.cardomain.net/member...28_16_full.jpg Ordered the Solstice: Black with leather, steering wheel controls, A/C delete (who needs A/C in a convertible). Custom turbo kit, maybe!

I noticed that too, that means the wheels will stick out quite further from stock right? GM chose a weird bolt pattern and offset I have yet to find a +55 offset anywhere that can fit the solstice and looks good. __________________ Team Solstice 2008 Ordered 11/12/05 Black, manual trans, Premium package, power package, convenience package, floor mats, AC, XM radio, LSD, and Polished Wheels Produced 6/1!
