New OGTS wheels

[oldroadiedog]

Just got a flyer with my last order from Gil. It features what appears to be some pretty nice wheels on the front page. Classic "wire" styling for 16" tires. Has anyone purchased these? If so how do you like them and can we see some photos of them on your GT? Thanks.

Wire wheels are great looking, if you are going to show the car by all means they really set it off. However, if you are going to drive the car just be prepared to do a lot of cleaning and polishing. I don't know about OGTS's but most true wire wheels need to be trued (requires spinning and tightening or loosening the spokes) and requires a lot of time to keep them looking and rolling like they a supposed to IMHO.

Thanks for the advice but I believe these are more like a simulated wire wheel look. There were some after market wheels available for Mustangs,
Cameros and Z Cars back in the 70's that looked much like these. I'm curious if any Opel GT owners had bought these new wheels from OGTS and what they thought of them.

Look in the photo gallery, the pictures channelgirl took at the Tacoma meet has a yellow GT pictured with those wheels on it (I think).

The new wheels are very good and surprisingly are quite underpriced. The offset is not quite stock however you need to purchase a set of spacers from OGTS in order to avoid conflict with other mechanical components. I believe the spacers come in either 15 or 25mm and when installed, they do give the old dog a new bite. They are totaly kool!!!
