GT2 Wheels

I need some opinions on new wheels for my Speed Yellow GT2. I have the factory wheels with the black paint option. For some reason, they do nothing for me. I have been offered a deal on some HRE black P47's, and am also considering Champion 98's or HRE P40's.

Are you looking to sell your wheels?

I believe that would be a yes, eventually. 1000 miles on car. The new P47's would be 20's. Factory wheels are 19's.

I would be the last person to know that. I could ask, but I think there are plenty of members that easily know this. The GT2 is definitely a wide body.

Yes they would. I do know that. I have no clue on price. PM me an offer. Have been considering keeping them.

GT-2 Wheels

Don't change wheel size. Keep the 19's and call HRE for options. Comp. series wheels will reduce unsprung weight by as much as 30 Lbs ! The braking will improve with the reduction of inertia and you will pick up as much as 20 HP ! I did that to my GT-3 RS and it was amazing what a difference it made. C-90's or C-93's with any color option would work great.
If you do it, the performance gain will blow your mind, forget the improved looks of a competition 3 piece wheel ! I have C-90's on my CLK-63 Black Renntech. Cup 18 " wheels on the RS. Using C-93's on my Scuderia when it arrives in 4 month's. Great color for a GT-2. Look's great in person and on the road. My last GT-3 was the same but the GT-2 looks better with the radical body work, it really shows it off.
Best regards, Steve

GT2 wheels will not fit a GT3 unless it is a RS.

The GT2 wheels will fit a regular turbo. Someone with a WHITE turbo should grab these, it would look great.

I have had 2 people tell me NOT to get the P40's or the RS98's, as they are too similiar to what is on the car now. True, and more difficult of a decision.

Have you looked at the P43?
Although the new P47 is just as good looking
