Default Forgeline GA3R wheels have arrived!

Thank you @SupremePower !

These will serve as “winter” wheels and tires while I wait for the BBs FI-R.

Ironically, the GT4 is current in the shop to get Numeric Racing shifter and cables sorted so I don’t get to put these on right away.

Good question! I haven’t thought about it much. Probably just keep them around for restoring the car back to 100% stock 30+ years from now or something.

what size and offset please? Did you weigh the wheel before mounting tires?

How about TPMS and valve stem?

Stock sizes.
Front 20x8.5 et55 (stock offset not available in this configuration)
Rear 20x11 et50 (stock offset if I remember correctly)

Factory TPMS (I didn’t want to risk compatibility issues).
I didn’t weigh the wheels prior to mounting tires. @SupremePower might have?

Michelin PS4S in stock sizes, with factory TPMS, including balancing weights,
Front weighs 46 lbs each
Rear weighs 58 lbs each

I will weigh my stock setup when I do the swap.

Car is getting @Numeric Racing shifter and cables sorted at a local shop so the wheels and tires are not on the car yet. I hope to get my car back next week and will plan on putting the wheels and tires on Dec 5 or 6. I will have stock weights then (tires have a few thousand street miles on them).
