You're in danger of pulling back the curtain. 
No Gwagen products on TR?

I know this man, but I was just surprised to find that TR had absolutely nothing. The G model wasn't even available in their drop down list. There are plenty of manufacturers that I know have wheels, just figured I'd try and include those that TR carry before I make a decision.

Luke, there are TONS of wheels available for the Gwagen - ORC in germany carries 171 different options.

I was just surprised that the best options readily available in the US are all expensive:
bling wheels (Lowenhart)
tuner wheels (Brabus)
forged wheels (HRE)

Might want to double check, but I'm fairly certain that the fitment for the BR463 chassis G500 & G55 is:
5-130 Bolt Pattern
84.1 Centerbore
ET55 (on a 10" width wheel)
Similar to the Porsche Cayenne and VW Touareg except for the centerbore.

I don't have any of those files with me at the moment - but off the top of my head:
They extend the wheelbase (and chassis) by about 18 -20 inches if I remember correctly. They are hand-built by Stehyr at the factory in Graf Austria. They start with a G500 and cut and lengthen it into a G-XXL.
They are shipped to AMG Manufaktur in Germany for finishing. Just about any option (but the high-performance ones like Vmax) is available to be added to the truck. Normal seating configuration is 2+2+2, but you can go 2+2 or 2+3. The 2+ seats are basically S-Class seats; the +3 seat is regular G55 or G500 rear split-bench. Center console and rear-seating temperature controls are an option if you do the 2+2+2 configuration.
The G55 Technology Package is a common choice - where the G500 is turned into a G55 in all aspects -- but alot of folks choose to leave it as a G500 (XXL).
Powerplant options include a standard V8, 5.5 SC, V12, and diesel motors.
They are definately a customer-ordered vehicle. Base Cost in USD is about $150K, done full-blown is at $250 to $300K. Most folks as I have seen go full-blown with interior and exterior options -- and they are REALLY nice when done-up that way.
