Who thinks the grey would look good on a white car?

I think it will! It comes stock with em

Well i guess it's really labeled silver, not grey, but practically the same.

stevenc · 02-10-2009, 07:54 AM

Actually the grey would be quite different to the silver. The grey is a darker color.

Since these are LP cast like OEM wheels, but weigh less how will these hold up on the highway if used as everyday wheels? I am assuming the lighter weight wheels will bend easier since they are not forged.

That would imply that OEM wheels are the ideal weight for the vehicle. The OEM wheels may actually have much more mass than needed for a functional wheel.
Perhaps the Breytons and other lighter wheels also have all the ingredients necessary for an ideal wheel but do it with much better efficiency.

I have well over 10,000 miles on the GTS-R's, with every kind of street driving imaginable, and they have been flawless. That said, any wheel will bend if you hit the right obstacle so care will always be needed.

Fair enough.

arrutled · 02-17-2009, 12:40 PM

with the 225/255 setup on these would you expect any rubbing with the performance suspension or even a more aggressive suspension?

+1

Gary@TireRack · 02-17-2009, 01:27 PM

^^ I wish I could tell you but I honestly have no experience with a lowered suspension and that exact wheel/tire set up.

arrutled · 02-17-2009, 01:41 PM

Well thanks anyways! I am seriously considering these. I almost hit the purchase button today, but then thought of this question.

I've got these wheels running a 225/255 setup and I've lowered the car with KW v3's. I can basically say that it doesn't rub. I did rub once in the rear over a particularly nasty bump with 2 friends in the car, that's it.

If there is no rub at stock height then you will be OK lowered, with the increased camber from lowering.

I'm about set to order these in 8.5 front and rear. With that said, would it negate the benefit of having same size wheels in the front if i did 245/35/18 in the front and 255/35/18 in the rear? I wouldn't be able to rotate tires then but i would be maximizing the ability to have larger rears. Thoughts?

arrutled · 02-17-2009, 07:30 PM

^would still considerably improve the cars understeer, but dont forget you need a 5-10 mm spacer for the front.

Found a couple of option for 5mm spacers. Found one 8mm spacer. Trying to see if Matt Schnell will make a 7mm.

Am I going to notice any difference from 5mm to 7mm to 8mm?

pkcormier · 02-17-2009, 08:12 PM

I tried to upload a pic of my car with Breyton's, 8.5 and 245's on all four corners. 10mm spacer and about -2 camber. Did it work?

pkcormier · 02-17-2009, 08:26 PM

A few more pics to show you how they look/fit. Not sure if they loaded.

pkcormier · 02-17-2009, 08:27 PM

Well that didn't work.

pkcormier · 02-17-2009, 08:37 PM

Let's try this again.

pkcormier · 02-17-2009, 08:40 PM

The rear looks a little jacked up. Actually the front is about a 1/4" lower due to the camber plates. They have since been adjusted to near stock ride height.
