Totally dislike the GT1's. Must go with the black GA1's.

Stripes always get you an extra 30-40 HP. This thing is fast becoming a track car so wheels need to be black to give it a more track feel. Beside they just look better than silver IMHO. Also IMHO GA better than the too busy GT's. So I'm in complete international agreement with Bronson - black GA1's it is!!

HEY !!!!!!!!!! I was lied to! I was told a minimum of 50hp from stripes and at least 60 for a wing! This is BS!

you should look at Finspeed (i've had two sets), if you are not brand specific. they are similarly priced and make center lock wheels. Do a double dark tint. Here is an example with a satin finish.

Phil,

I've had both. Have you considered the new GE1? I have them and am very pleased. Another color choice to possibly consider is graphite.

GA1's! Personally I'd pick silver, but your color theme supports black, so my vote is Black GA1

My thought is to get a lighter (19") wheel for track use and save my stock wheels from the rigors of the track.

I'm looking at a solid 10-15+ track days this season.

So, since the stock wheels are $6k.... why not buy a set of track wheels with lighter rotational mass and more tire choices?

And then i don't have to worry about messing up my stock wheels and have to pay $6k for new factory wheels if/when i go to sell.
