My favorite color (after mine). Can't wait to see pictures.

Thanks!

Driving - woo-hoo!

Nice car, its sucks you can't drive it during the winter time where you live.

With a set of snow tires, they're great. Heavy and relatively skinny tires in the back plus LSD.

That color is HOT as well!! (And it seems to have been kept up to perfectionist levels as well.)

It's cool how the Maggie nestles right on down between the coil covers.

Which wheels are on that?

Best of luck with it!!! (I'm JEALOUS!)

The President of a large GTO club bought it new. It's ultra well maintained.

The FULL Pedders suspension should be awesome, ya think!?!

Tires are brand new Nitto 555R2's in the back and Nitto extremes up front should handle the 461 RWHP well.....

Congrats on your GTO, I absolutely loved my Torrid Red / Red Hot '04.

I ran synthetic 10-30 in mine and never had any consumption issues.

You'll love driving it home - I did a 900 plus mile one day stretch in mine from Dayton, Ohio to Western Arkansas and could have easily gone another 200-300 miles. That same trip in my G8 leaves me worn out.

A LONG drive is always where you see if a car is a keeper.

One day you'll get rid of those Nittos and really enjoy some real high performance tires!

It looks like a beaut.

Awesome! That thing will haul the mail. Better take a good radar detector for the trip home.

Thanks, guys!

Drew: I may take the Freeway by you (IF the weather holds), so if you see that extreme blue machine fly by, it's me!

That's all more than cool, but I was asking about the wheels themselves.
I can't make out what they are from the angle of that pic, although they look like they might be ROHs of one style or another?

Rims are 18" Boyd Coddington.

I'll try to keep 'em under 180MPH...

They're not that bad (I had a set of 555R2s on the front and 555 Drag Radials on the back at one time).

But yes, a set of R888s, (if Toyo makes his size) or such, would let that thing stick like glue (except in a very heavy downpour).
