For those of you that don't visit RLF any more. I just picked up these rims from a member on CSS in PERFECT condition. I got them for a steal. Here are some pics. 19x8 Rial Nogaro's with Yokohama Parada Spec 2 tires.

I'm just really excited because I've always wondered what these would look like on a RL but I have yet to see a set on a silver one. What do you guys think? I'll be replacing the GMPP rotors and OEM pads for some hawk pads with stoptech rotors from Dezod.

Not that I've noticed. But I haven't gone lock to lock yet. I have a set of spacers on my ebay, if they rub I'll pick up a set of 4 of them.

I'm just imagining it wingless now with a silver CF trunk. But, it sucks having the 2 piece trunk lid like we do. That's the only benefit I see to having a SS/SC, one piece trunk.

Come down here and you can picture it with a silver CF hood =)

That way I can see how much more I like those rims =)

they kinda look like skittle rims.
same thing I thought

these are very common/popular with the skittles I used to hang with in Chicago

Would love to get the CF hood for mine. But with my rash of theft, and vandalism on my car, she'd never let me drive the damn thing if I start modding the exterior. She said to keep it under the hood and she's a happy camper. So I'm putting that comment to the test.

LOL. I get that a lot from the guys at work until they look at it up close.

I do like the G6 GTP wheels, saw one this morning on the base. I still have a pair of OEM rims for some BFG DR's.

Dude, the more I look at these, the more I want a set! I wish they made the 19's in black...

There's several nice wheels I wish I could get for my car, but
1. I can't afford them, and
2. I can't afford them.

Some potential candidates are:
Rial Nogaro's. I would probably paint them gunmetal or bronze, and leave the lip polished.

ASA AR1's. Similar to the Nogaros, I'd have to paint them, but they look awesome in 19"s

O.Z. Chrono HLT. They sell these in a matte black, but not in our bolt pattern... but they're stupidly light, and $360 each. Ow.

I would consider the ASA AH8 in 19's, one of the guys on RLF has 'em, and I like them a lot. The shiny black is a bit much, I'd again probably paint them gunmetal.
