They look like 18" wheels to me.

I just hope I can get a V8-powered car without 20" wheels.

The close up of the wheel shows the tires are Pirelli PZero P245/45 ZR20.

Yes, one of the camoed ones on the trailer. It is the last picture in the series. (I know, wrong thread

)

Good point. I'm switching my vote to passenger side a la G8 and Holden as well.

That doesn't mean those couldn't be 20's and these 18's.

That's what I was thinking, considering one of the camo mules had some other cool looking 5 spoke, believe it was a Simmons wheel.

It might be a 20, not sure. I was just typing out loud.

On the gas cap location... correct me if I'm wrong but some places require that the cap be located on a certain side of the vehicle. Is that the case in Australia? In other words, perhaps it needs to be on the passenger side (which would be the driver side with rhd) down under?

Okay, to add to this, I just did some quick looking...

IF it was a Simmons FR wheel in this pic:

They only make that wheel in a 19"
http://www.simmonswheel.com.au/wheels/
UNLESS is was a custom made wheel in a 20".

If it is a 19" on the car, I think it looks close to the side of the wheel in the pic GM released. Could be hard to tell, though. Again....just sorta sleuthing.

the wheel looks very similar to this one from a Charger Daytona

which makes me VERY happy. I love that classic 5 spoke with depth look. I'm not at all in love with the pic of the wheel on the camo car on the trailer.

But THIS one I love. And it appears to be the same on the uncamoed car just released.

Post #95 above, but that's okay. I think it is worth mentioning again.

Although similar, I'm not convinced those are the same wheels. But you could be right.
