What do you guys think is the best looking lightweight 18" wheels for the GT2? I originally wanted a set of blingy 19" HREs, but want to improve the handling, so that is not an option.

I want them in the same size as the factory wheels(18x8.5 and 18x12), but much lighter. Is under 20 pounds each realistic, especially for the rears?

Thanks.

 

I am very happy with the BBS Motorsport wheels that I have on my GT2. They are 18" x 8.5" and 18" x 12". They are about 22 lbs front and 24 - 25 lbs rear

 

Those look great! Do you have any shots of the rear wheels at an angle? I am curious how much of a lip you have? Also, how much do they weigh? Thanks.

He just said that.

 

I will take some additional pics and post them tomorrow.

about 22 lbs front and 24 - 25 lbs rear

 

Oops, I missed it the first time around. Thanks and look forward to seeing the pics.

 

2004/ 5gt2 wheels

 

what are the offset of the BBS,are they custom offset as per HRE?do they sit flush at the fenders or do you require spacers to achieve the aggressive look.

 

BBS Motorsport wheels is the best choose so far!

 

I like the BBS joints too.

 

He said light. 22lbs for a 18x8.5 wheel is lead. Those wheels look like BBS GT2 Mag's with the silver centers. Are you sure they weigh that much?

 

Lead? You've got to be kidding. That is reasonably light. When a few friends and I weighed the forged center BBS 3-piece racing aluminum wheel is was more like 20-21 lbs. for the front.

 

any idea how much the stock gt2 (2002-2003) 18s weigh?

 

I researched the 04/05 wheels and they weigh 25.75(f) and 29(r) pounds each. I am unsure of the turbo twist design.

 

Do you guys think the aftermarket 18" wheels (BBS, Kinesis and etc) look noticeably better than the 04/05 GT2 wheel?

I definitely like the look of 19" HREs with those 4" rear lips, but the various 18" wheels don't have near the same visual impact as the 19s in my opinion.

What do you think?
