I like the silver top rim, but the Black under rim could stand to be removed. I think the plain silver would look the best, but as a 20 spoke it doesn't look to bad.

Zenetti DueceB 18" they go for 200 - 400 bucks a piece depends where u buy them , i dont know y people kick them up in price but they seem to be hard to find . I think they look real nice for the price!

I liked them until I saw the black spokes in between the silver spokes.

I liked the black behind the silver i didnt want a lot going on as 20 spoke showing if u know what i mean , In person it looks really sweet. And for $250 a wheel its not a bad wheel am i right ?

Hey SILVER04GTO,
I fell in love with the Zenetti Duece B rims you displayed here and I had to get them..... Just ordered the 18's from a local shop and I'm getting the rims and tires for $1,220.00. Not bad, I was pleased with the price.

Anyways, when I bought my GTO part of the deal was to leave on the aftermarket wheels that the dealership put on my GTO. If anybody needs another set of tires with some cool VOXX BMW M5 replica polished alloy rims let me know??? I know some of you guys need another set for winter???

The VOXX rims look good on the GTO, but give it a more sophiscated look. (classy and sleek) I wanted to go with a more racing look and those Zenetti's just set if off for me.
I'll take pics of my GTO with the VOXX rims tommorow and post them.

rims and stock tires $500.00 plus u pay shipping
800 miles on stock tires

Would you mind telling me the name and phone number of this place and if they have a website??

That's a **** good deal!!!

I talked to a local shop that can order these wheels................they told me they won't fit on a GTO because the offset isn't right. They told me these wheels are for a front wheel drive car!!!! :angry:

whoever you talked to about the wheels not fitting a GTO he obviousely doesn't know his stuff. My local shop that I ordered them from double checked and made sure they would fit the 04 GTO. The offset works with the 04 GTO and is not for a front wheel drive car, just look at the silver GTO with them on in the pics! :rolleyes:

EDDIE

if you want my shops number let me know...........this guy gets great deals on rims. Of course you have to take in account it might be more cause of shipping???

what he said, any rim made for a car after 92 I believe was switched to a FWD offset as most cars are FWD now. Thus rims for a car made for a 97 camaro for example, wont fit an old muscle car, and vice versa.

If the car is new, and the rim is new, they are compatible, you just need the right offset.

I told him I saw them on that silver GTO and nothing was mentioned about them being a problem as far as fitment goes. He said he'd have to call Zenetti directly and ask them before he would order them.

The fact that he wants $269 a piece for them is ****py though.

For a whole set of wheels and tires he quoted me $1750 plus tax.

If I can get the same deal you did for $1220 plus say..........$100 for shipping that'd be a lot better.

Yeah, I guess I'll look into getting them from your shop. What state do you live in?

So these Zenettis have the right offset for the current GTO's?

What size tires should I get so they won't rub?

Definitely one of the nicer rims I've seen on the new GTO's, IMHO.

yea rims/tires and shipping $1500 Falken ZIEX ZE512 245/40ZR18
if u break it down ur only paying $215.01 each rim 860.04 for the set and 639.96 for the rubber ,159.99 each , which u can get any tires u want they mount and balance them and ship to u . and pretty much free shipping if u look at it

I was leaning towards the HSV ones but since they aren't available I may go with these. Decisions decisions!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:


So is that brand of tire you chose a pretty good one???

I got the rims in today.

I'll probably get 'em put on tomorrow.

They didn't send any lug nuts so I guess I need to go buy some.

I know this sounds dumb but what kind do I need to get? Any certain/special things I need to look for??

Also, the rims have a 38mm offset. That's the right one isn't it?

Wow...I can't believe they didn't send the lugs with 'em. I'm not sure about the offset.

EYES
11-30-2004, 09:33 PM
Maybe they only send lugs with wheel AND tire packages.

Think that's it???

I opted to buy some Dunlops from a local dealer.

I'll post some for sure.


What about the lug nuts? Should I just buy normal chrome lookin' ones or what??

Should I get locks??

Do they have special lugs for certain cars???

Nocturn
11-30-2004, 10:06 PM
Buy shiny if you want shiny. You dont need special lugs, but I suggesting locking lugs so no one can steal your rims easily.

EYES
11-30-2004, 10:13 PM
Thanks, Nocturn!!!

I'll do just that!

Do they make all black lugs? That might look cool. :D

Well what rims are you getting? Black rims and it would look good but on chrome...ehh.

But on those both lack/chrome ones it should look good.

I just meant the ricer thing as they carry different colors of everything.

11-30-2004, 10:48 PM

Sorry thumbs down to the black, you should have dropped the "B". The all chrome version look more like what I've seen on the M3...much more visual...with the black they look kind of remind me of an anemic starfish.
