I had a weak moment and picked these up on Black Friday, they arrived from Ontario on Wednesday 12/4, super fast shipping. I'm really impressed with these Augment wheels- 2 piece, the centers are forged and then machined. The fitment is identical to stock GTS wheels, so 7.5x17 ET 65, 9x17 ET 55. Very stout, fronts are 25 lbs 3 oz, rears are 26 lbs.
Pics:
Front weight:
Rear weight:
Rear of wheel:
Big lip on the rear 9" wheel, that's a genuine $10 bill. The paint on these is gorgeous.
Mounted on the GTS. There's a lot more 'metal' in these wheels around the holes, and I wish the lug holes had a larger radius to them, but there's still enough sidewall that they look period-ish. I think even 17's are too much on an early car, but we'll mount 'em on Minerva just for fun.

...and somewhere, a whole generation is lost on the descriptor of "tele dial" design.
Of course, as the tele dial evolved and became the push button set, perhaps a wheel styled like this would be more identifiable towards a telephone reference?
Aww, heck. Who am I kidding... Need a cell phone style nowadays. Time marches on...

Finally got a minute to get the car on the ground and take a few pics. Had to drive to the top of Sepulveda Vista Point to catch the last few minutes of sun. The car's not totally settled, but close enough.

Both 17/18" look awesome, but I think the 17" look more "awesomer".
Great buy @Rob Edwards what a steal!

Wow, lots of tire back there for a 9 inch wheel. I wanted to run a 265/40 rear but can't find a matching set to fit the fronts, so was going to stick to 255/40. However, I love how meaty your rears look. I wonder if the Michelin run wide
