OK, the Sky wheels don't work without spacers...so what should I get instead?

Well my Saturn Sky wheel experiment failed...not going to work without spacers. And to do the spacers the right way, it was going to cost me another $300-350. So i figure I just sell the Sky wheels and get something that will fit without the extra hassle.

SO, help me decide what to get. I like simple, clean wheels, hence why I wanted the sky ones. I don't want the hotswaps or anything like that. My first choice I think right now is the TSW Nogaros. Here is a quick chop I did with them.




Another option ASA AR1





Any other ideas? I just want something that looks clean. And won't break the bank.

The TSW's look MUCH better than the second choice. If I was you, that's what I'd get. Sorry to hear that the Sky wheels didn't work for you, though.

Ya gravana is the cheapest I have found. I am going to discount tire tomorrow and see if they have them in the right size or if they can order them or whatever. I might just go through them since they're local if they have em.

Ive been checking into that body kit for the g5.. i noticed those a few weeks ago and IMMEDIATELY went to TSW's website to see if they had them in a 4 lug bolt pattern in a 19 no luck.. but yes I DEFINITELY vote for those.. they will set off the red and as you see... that car looks like a glass of Iced tea in the desert!!!!

Well i stopped by the tire shop on the way home, hehe.

$925 later the TSWs are ordered. Not too bad. Thats for the wheels, lugs, gorilla locks, chrome valve stems, mount my tires onto the new wheels and spin balance. He said they usually show up in 5 days. Im hoping sooner since they are just down in Cali, but either way I can't wait!
