Rockit's GT3 w/ K58's
 
The wheels are awesome and I really like the alternative rubber: Yoko AVS Sports...When not in direct sunlight, the gray anodized match the seal gray spot on!!!

I got Darren here and we both say - WOW - looking good rocket :)
Now loose that front plate or throw a 6speed frame on it LOL :)

It is so amazing to see how low the GT3 is on the road. I remember at the AWE meet, how low and wide teh GT3 was.

Thanks guys!!!

Duane, I would love to lose the front plate, but law enforcement in NYS have some stupid issue with it.

Ken, they are 295/30/18 and 235/40/18...I love them. The side wall is much stiffer than the PS2's and don't seem to skirm as much in the corners. Dry grip is probably not as good as the PS2's, but I like the street handling characteristics of the AVS's on this car better. They will also be much better in the wet because of the tread design.

Pistol...I won't paint the lip...It's too close to the ground and if I scrap it, well you know.

Funny thing about changing the front tires. When I removed the passenger side I noticed the spring locks from shipping where still in place, so I was not getting full suspension dampening. You could not see them unless the wheels were off. I do recall a bang sound when hitting a dip at high speeds. Unbelievable..Leave it to the dealers to properly prep a car after delivery...

Awesome Lookin!

wow, very nice ... I thought they were going to look awesome and they came out even better than I expected.

I need to get those kinesis caps ... I have the Porsche center caps on mine and it breaks up the look a little, yours looks much cleaner with the anodized caps.

kudos!

Greyghost Mar 15, 2004 04:31 AM

Very nice. I like those wheels much better than the factory GT3 rims. Sloth... it's your turn!

KC996TT Mar 15, 2004 06:01 AM

Looks great! :cool:

Rob Mar 15, 2004 07:00 AM

Lookin' good!!

JamE55 Mar 15, 2004 07:26 AM

Looks awsome! Almost looked like it came from the factory like that!:D

Wheel Experts Mar 15, 2004 10:01 AM

very very sweet!

rockitman Mar 15, 2004 10:10 AM

Thanks guys...I think gray centers was the way to go for my car rather than the original thought I had of black...
