Afternoon all,

I am looking at getting a set of new alloy wheels for the Ro.

I am heading in the direction of a set of American Racing alloy wheels.

20" x 8.5" in size.

Couple of quick questions: -

a) Has anyone had any experience with any of the American Racing alloy wheel products? What are they like in terms of quality, finish, durability, weight, etc? They look very well manufactured to me, but looks can be deceiving.

b) From experience, will I experience any issues (arch clearance - steering lock) when fitting 20" alloy wheels on my Ro' VXR that has been lowered on Pedders standard drop springs (on OEM dampers)?

c) What profile and width tyres would you recommend using on the Ro' VXR to suit 20" x 8.5" dimensioned alloy wheels?

c) Also... what is the listed PCD and recommended offset suitable for the Ro'? Amercian Racing have it down as 5 x 120.7 with a high offset - +35 (for the 2006> Pontiac GTO).

Cheers,
Kyle.

I've had 2 sets on 2 different cars, took a lot of balancing but overall I dont think you can fault them for the money.
