He actually tracks this car constantly. They're a competition level wheel. I have a pretty serious car, but I still run 19s and really wish I could run 18s (my Brembos are huge). Not that I agree with you that they look small (meaning that I'm not justifying them not looking perfect, cause I LOVE them) but any worry about them being too small by style would be justified or made much cooler by knowing that he went in search for a wheelset to better suit his needs, and he's on the track quite a few times a month. I know. I run with him. And it's a haul *** cab!
Rock on, Dan. I love it! Can't wait to see it in person!

you SHOULD be able to run custom made 18s...Unless your brakes are some REDICULUS size (like 400 or somthing), you should def be able to use 18s...that said, I like the way the 19s look way more and for the street...19s are way "cooler" for sure!

Rep Power: 121 The wheels are 18's. I have 315/30's on the rear and 235/40's on the front.
(gives the car a real aggressive stance....especially when you're following it
)Not sure about the offsets....you could ask Fabyrce at GMG about this...you can find him several posts up.
Also, not to be ignorant, but what are zone 1 wheels? (The brand of these wheels are HRE's.....)

Zone 1 is a brand of wheels too. He was asking Ice about his black mesh wheels I think. And about my brakes, actually they're 15" 2 piece floating rotors with 6 piston monoblock calipers. We're pretty sure 18s would not make it around it, but I'll check next time I'm over at the garage. Rock on.

Hey Ray, those are TechArt Formula's in 19x8.5 front and 19x11 rears. Just picked up a set and although not as light as some other wheels out there they are still pretty light and beautifly finished. On a silver car I don't care for anything else as much as I do these. They just look right on the car to me.

Actually, they're 380s. So you think they'll fit in the 18?

beautiful
These wheels look totally superb on your Turbo. The very best kind of dope--really nice choice. Enjoy--they will certainly catch a lot of eyes. jj
.....are these new GMG HRE Cups that I just received! Naturally, this is just my humble opinion, but I absolutely love these wheels. After months of searching for the "perfect" wheel, I finally discovered these babies on GMG's website. They look better in person than in the pictures. In all honesty, they have changed the look of my car DRAMATICALLY. I feel like I have a new car now! ( I even had a cop pull over when I was shooting pictures just to ask me a bunch of questions about the car...that was a first for me!)
Just so future buyers will know, I had a great buying experience with Fabryce and James at GMG. They are real gentlemen. Although it did take about 2 months to finish the custom build, it was worth it! James and Fabryce were always professional and answered all of my email questions, especially when I was getting "antsy" waiting on the wheels.
So, here they are, pictures of my new, custom, GMG HRE Cups. I already know a few people on 6speed don't car for the look of my turbo, but please still try to enjoy these killer wheels!
Cheers,
Dan
