Was at Jim Causley Pontiac GMC Truck. 38111 S Gratiot Ave. Clinton Township, MI for a cruise night/ show

This is the Red Show car (one from Holden release). It is more production orientated, but the wheels are not production.

Awesome! Not a fan of those wheels though. I'm guessing those will be the standard G8 GT wheels with some nicer looking, larger ones as optional equipment. I'm anxious to see what they'll look like.

Dave Imight be wrong. I was getting the info from another site, but who knows what wheels will be available. I have to say that those wheels in the pics just might be production wheels, because from this link First Pontiac G8 Prototypes Roll Off The Line it sure looks like the wheels are the same.

99% sure they are the standard 18" production rim.

19" ones are optional

pictured below

with the wheels its up to you , you prefer smaller wheels with higher profile tires? go the 18's , or larger 19" wheels with lower profile.

The G8 does have alot wheel arch gap, that needs to be filled , i think 19-20 would fit nicely , don't go overboard though !

example - stock suspension ( 18" rims)




and the extreme opposite - lowered ( 22" rims )
