Default .1/.2 GTS CL Wheels?

Are the .2 GTS wheels with the Turbo S center locks identical to those found on the .1 cars?

TIA

Actually NO.

They are similar but if you look carefully the .2 wheels have a slight curvature at the point where the radial (longitudinal) segments connect to the center hub.

The .2GTS wheels are the black version of the .2TurboS wheels, I'm pretty sure of it.....

Interesting, like they're being twisted. I wonder if the offsets are the same for fitment. Now I'm looking forward to seeing an in-person comparison.

I'm pretty certain the offsets will be the same (or at least compatible) since I
dont think any geometry changes occurred between the .1 and .2 that would
result in a relocation of the hubs resulting in a change in offset of the wheel.

p.s I think I like these better than the .1's

Hi There:

Careful with the offsets. There is a difference between the .1 and .2 for the C2 at least. Not sure about the GTS specifically, but I had to go through a lot of back and forth to get HRE to take back some wheels that were said to fit the .2, but really only fit the .1. (they were great about it, but it took some time). Just do the research.

good to know - I was assuming ... and we know what happens when I assume!
