S/T wheels on GT3
Has anyone tried fitting S/T magnesium wheels on a GT3?
I’m considering upgrading and would like to know if they fit perfectly, especially with regard to any potential issues with offset.
While browsing Suncoast Parts for GT3 wheels, I came across the S/T Magnesium Wheel Set. The dimensions seem very similar, with the only difference being the rear offset:

- Rear: 12 J x 21 ET 44 (vs. GT3's ET 45)

From memory the Manthey offer a 7.3kg or 16lbs overall weight reduction over the GT3 wheels and cost around $10,000 dollars, a huge saving over the S/T wheels but still offering a performance gain and are OEM approved.

Certainly I would steer away from the mag wheels for street use - especially at $10K each. For my S/T clone project, I commissioned a few sets of custom forged AL wheels in exact S/T dimensions and styling. . . will be about a 15 lb weight penalty (total) over the mag wheels, but much easier to swallow cracking a $750 wheel than a $10K wheel . .

How are the Michelin S5's? I didn't know they were now available in N-Rated sizes....

Love THE S5's so far - very quite - don't have enough seat time to really compare them to the 4S's but very pleased with how they handle and sound . . . especially with my new S/T suspension tuning that @rnlst_log and I cracked - car is close to the perfect street GT.
