Your car looks great!!!
So those are GT2's, I guess they are the same as the turbo's exept slightly wider. Do you like them? They look good in the pics. Do you know if they are lighter than hollowspokes?

Thanks, I think they look perfect on the car. It fills out the rear slightly more as they are 12" wide wheels...more appropriate for the 315 MPS2's ala GT2 again.

They are heavier than the hollow spoke for sure but that does not bother me one bit hey with 700 HP under my right foot..who cares anyway.. . I wanted the strongest OEM wheel that I could get that looks hot!, hey if it's good enough for a GT2, then it's good enough for me.

Glad you like them..I got mine new from Arling @ Lucent....top notch guy with great prices.

sorry for reviving a dead thread, but aren't those gt3 wheels? I thought the GT2 wheels were the same design as the turbo, aka 'turbo twist II' but just wider front/rear 8.5/12 instead of 8/11?

could you guys PM me the prices that you got from your respective distributors? thank you ! pics if you got them too = ) thanks !
