Both look good on the deep, and bronze would set you apart from all others.

Since it was 48 and sunny I took a nice top-down drive to Roosevelt Island, and casual 2+ mile hike, and top-down drive back home. Then I washed and waxed the Sky, found a deep door ding  :banghead: and then headed over to a friend's house to watch the game, first half.

Jim :cool:

Bought & received: GMs, double spoke, polished alloy wheels: http://www.interestingworldfacts.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/most-beautiful-cars-in-the-world-Pontiac-Solstice-Coupe.jpg

Good move. They look a lot more interesting than the other stock wheels and less fussy than most of the after market stuff, plus they aren't going to be around very long as they'll run through the surplus stock pretty quick.

Got them on mine too.

Will these wheels work for a 2008 GXP?
Absolutely they will. All Solstice wheels and Sky wheels of any style and of any year for that matter will fit.

Cool, Thanks! I had read somewhere that the 2009 wheels wouldn't work on a 2008 or older and wanted to make sure before the purchase.

The 2009 Solstice wheels are a little different style than earlier years but they are interchangeable.

Got notification that my new wheels shipped today. Should have them by the end of the week.

Went to the powdercoater today to look at colours...  :banghead:

3 black and a silver are going to look funny on the car.  :D

Check the last several messages in this thread on the BB for a post from me with PDFs of all the Solstice and Sky wheels.  All wheels from both cars for all years are interchangeable.     http://www.solsticeforum.com/forum/f55/dual-5-spoke-acquisition-thread-62432/

I'd post them here but for some reason I can't attach graphics or files here.
