if your car has stock 2g stealth r/t body; then the OEM 5-spokes are money, imho. there are others that work too, but the design you posted is a bit too "square-ish" for the curvy lines of a 2g stealth.
that's just my opinion however.

Car is 2nd gen R/T
I was just wanting black chrome and lighter weight.
My new rims should be coming in this week I hope. 18X9 +38 and 18x10 +42, tires are 255/40/18 and 295/35/18.
i loves me 285's. i almost went with the 295's though.
Actually make that Feb 7, I guess I was just being too hopeful lol
F18x9 255/40/18
R18x10 295/35/18
I can also tell you that the 18x10 43offset ALMOST cleared the strut. Im guessing a 38 offset "should" clear but its coming down to like hair thin clearances. I tested the 18x10 43et up front with the 255/40/18 tires so keep that in mind. It didnt stick out much really.
you got a +43 offset 10" rim to fit the STOCK strut perch up front? WTF? *edit* must have been the 255 tires being pulled razor thin on such a wide rim. no farking way that would work with 285's--which actually MATCH the rim size.
you wouldn't like it. mine stick out normally, but i've also got spacers on them currently...because GT-PRO fucked up when ordering them. they don't clear the stock tt calipers (1g or 2g). they cleared the stock front perches about as well as my stock 225's did--maybe a bit better. i don't know that i'd go with greater offset than 24mm (what i have) unless i were going to use coilovers. i would probably have gone with 40mm offset if i'd known that it wasn't going to clear the calipers without spacers.
p.s.
it appears it's JUST me, btw. every other person i've talked to with GT-C's doesn't seem to have clearance issues with the tt brakes. mine rub FRONT AND BACK on the 2g tt brakes. i took to shaving the caliper's slightly with a die grinder; but i really think the only "cure" is for a 355mm BBK. gt-pro really f'd up. i just didn't know it until recently because i'd been running my rims with n/a brakes for 2+ years. i'd ordered them to fit over tt brakes, but i'd never had a chance to test it until i did my swap.

not so much to show how your car looks with it, more to show how much room I have to move things around to make it all fit
