MAYBEN Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Well, Tire Rack came back and said the wheels would have issues with the lugs since they're designed for studs.. sounds like hokey pokey but.. ANYWAY - I think I have narrowed it down between two wheels, the TSW Mallory 5 and TSW Interlagos Rotary Forged.. The Mallory's remind me of the Breyton Race GT and look great Black on Black, but I'm not sure if I want to take care of a Matte Finish.. what are the drawbacks? EDIT: Matte Black is off the table, I accidentally woke up a Wizard this morning (darn time zone difference) and confirmed they're a PITA! Option 1: TSW Mallory 5 Silver Option 2: TSW Interlagos Rotary Forged Silver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egott_91 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I prefer the less spoke look on G8's Ricky and THE Mook 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Periodic Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Voted interlagos! They'll look real nice! Glad to see you going with silver! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
02Xtreme07ss Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 If the two, I think the Interlagos are a classier looking wheel than the Mallory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAYBEN Posted July 11, 2013 Author Share Posted July 11, 2013 for the record, there were a set of CCW's that I BADLY want, however cannot justify spending that kind of money right now, its bad enough I'm so hooked on a specific tire that I'm changing my wheels haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egott_91 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Well, I vote CCW's if that's a choice. Lol. I think the T10's would be a perfect fit for a G8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

egott_91 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Hahaha. I want a set of Fikse wheels for the SS, but don't want to invest that much into wheels when I will probably be selling the car in a couple of years once I graduate. 04silverado 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE Mook Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 The first ones look like they belong on a BMW or Audi or VW. The second ones look more like they would work on your car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAYBEN Posted July 11, 2013 Author Share Posted July 11, 2013 I hear ya.. there are reasons I really like the Mallory's but they're not as 'sporty' as the Interlagos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBlack151 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 My friend dated a real nasty "you know what" named Mallory that I disliked very much. I voted for the Interlagos. MAYBEN, ArmyAcadia09 and THE Mook 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
