Show your muscle with this Chevrolet SS on TSW Wheels

Chevrolet SS TSW Bathurst Wheels

An Aussie in America.

Unfortunately for American automotive enthusiasts, the Pontiac brand was killed off in 2010 and with it, the Pontiac G8 – a rear-wheel drive full size sedan that had motorheads all excited. The classic layout was brought over from Holden with their Commodore from Australia. Thankfully, the car lived on as the Chevrolet SS in 2014. While production numbers for the Chevrolet variant were never high enthusiasts scooped them up like this white model sitting on a new set of black TSW Wheels.

The Chevrolet SS was the first rear-wheel drive sedan packed with a V-8 since the old Impala models before they switched over to front-wheel drive. That’s what makes this small production run of SS models so unique and loved by enthusiasts. With a new set of TSW Wheels, it gets even better.

The Chevrolet SS features the same 6.2-liter V-8 engine that powered the Corvette from the same era, making it quite the high-performance sports sedan. In total 420 horsepower and 415 lb-ft. of torque reaches the rear TSW Wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters mounted on the steering wheel. While it may not have a manual gearbox, its drivetrain layout is more than enough to convince enthusiasts to fork up the dough for one.

This white Chevrolet SS was outfitted with a new set of TSW Wheels to add some contrast to the factory color scheme. A new set of TSW Bathurst wheels were installed with a black finish covering the ten thin spokes. Up front, the wheels measure 19 x 8.5 ET 35 and weight 21.4 lbs. each, while the rear comes in with a staggered 19 x 9.5 ET 39 setup weighing in at 22.5 lbs. The staggered setup also lends to a more aggressive footprint and allows the 420 horsepower to be put down easier than the stock setup.

The Chevrolet SS might be a rarer American muscle sedan but it is still a favorite among enthusiasts, especially with this set of TSW Bathurst rims.
