That is my silver GT2 and yes it is an 11.5" rear. I actually think
the 315 looks better on this size rim compared to the factory
setup with the 12" rim...the tire looks undersized. Champion does not offer a 12" rear wheel for the car and yes the are considerably lighter than the stockers.

I would probably consider the HRE C-series. Custom offset available also, in 18x9 and 12 sizes.

I am under the impression that a center cap won't fit over the hub. I could be wrong though.....

I believe the stock 01 - 03 wheels weigh 28lbs front and 33lbs rear.

Overall, my favorite wheel has to be the Champion Mg wheels, but at $9K+ a set, I don't think they are worth the 1.5 lbs/wheel savings. Nice to look at though...



+1 for the forgelines!

Sometimes it seems so.

In this case I was looking for a lightweight wheel and voila, found some really nice info and alternatives to magnesium BBS. Sure some of the newer people on the forum can appreciate that as well instead.

Actually really liked the look with those forgeline wheels , that deserves a "highlight".
