If anybody had a set of GT3 take off wheels they want to sell please PM me. Thanks.

 

good luck with that... gt3 wheel is a perfect wheel never understand why someone would remove them

 

you're right. I've never seen a GT3 on Pimp My Ride. Not a lot of leftovers.

 

I just bought my car and it came with an extra set, but I'm pretty sure I'll be keeping them for DEs...Is there any benefit to a set of racing wheels over the stock wheels (in your humble opinions)? Of course Boulder GT3 I will take your opinion with a giant grain of salt!

 

I'd keep the extra wheels if I were you. The street tires, usually Mich PS's suck on the track. 3-5 good laps and they go to grease like any street tire. The mighty GT3 is now on ice skates. I think the itch for R rubber will come in a hurry and once hot I don't think cups are less forgiving than the howling PS's.

I don't know what kind of racing wheels vs. OEM you've got but I'd be hard pressed to think you can find a much better rim than the stock ones assuming same dimensions. Unless they have spinners...

Smart move to take anything I say with a huge grain of salt.

 

I've got PS2's on the car and Cups on the extra set of OEM wheels. I seems the consensus is the PS2's are a great way to go for mixed use street/track...and the Cups are great on the track, am I wrong?

 

You've got the hot set up.

I am in the extreme minority but I think the PS2's are nothing special on the track. On a hot day you can over heat them in a hurry. I'm a little puzzled why everybody raves about them so much. My cynical side says all that marketing really works.

 

What tires do you prefer?

 

Again, tires are a near religious discussion on this board. For me, cups to have fun on the track and I’m thinking about trying Kuhmo’s for the street to annoy the Porschephiles. Or, I may put PS2's back on so everybody doesn't think I'm a cheapskate.

 

Of course not on a GT3, but I have done S03's, PS2's, PZero's, and the cheapo's. In all honesty, I can't find much of a difference in my street driving! The PZero's suck in the rain, S03's wear rather quickly, and the PS2's are pretty expensive. I do like the PS2's, but I agree that they aren't anything special. From my experience they track about the same as the old Pilot Sports, but they last substantially longer. I.E. I had five driving events on my last PS2's, and when I sold the car the tires had probably nearly 80% tread left...and to say the least I don't drive easy on the street either.

I don't do enough driving events at this time to justify having $2000 in tires sitting around. So for me, I have to find a median. The PS2's/S03's are a great alternative, but I have also had good luck with several of the lesser Japanese tires like Falken 451's, Azenis, and others. Kuhmo MX's aren't bad tires, but they wear quickly. I might order some Dunlop Sport Maxx's next.

I just picked up this used set of Champion RG5 Monolites in GT3 sizes for track use with almost identical offsets to stock. They also came with almost new (no track time) Corsa System tires.

 

Ah ha, my same wheels. They are amazingly light compared to other forged 18" wheels I have used. I am running PZero Rosso's right now.
