Yeah, they put those wheels on everything. Personally, I hate them. They did a Heritage paint scheme on an 05 car before it was an option and I believe it had those wheels as well.

Here are 4 shots I took of the Galpin repainted Heritage circa July 09, 2005, a Saturday morning, they were asking $279K for the "one of a Kind" heritage. (cough!) Wheels are simliar, but Galpin had powder coated the sides of the spokes so when seen at an angle, an orange hue appears around the wheel.

I do not believe this car was ever sold with this paint combination, I understand it was repainted its original color, I believe was white.

Are there any members who own a Galpin Auto Sports GT? Other than the wheels and paint, did Galpin modify the car in any other way? Just curious.

I don't think Galpin has any specific recipe. They run so many cars through there that they do all kinds of stuff to all kinds of vehicles. My guess is that any GT's they touched were largely modified cosmetically.

The colors are different than what we see on the currrent Heritage GTs. Not sure how close this color combination si to the original 1967-69 Gulf GTs.

Actually from an angle the wheel look good, however face on they look way to ghetto for me, but I understand Sam is getting them as part of the Big Bison Package.>>>>>....:)
