Thread: Let's just rename this PurpleGuy's GTO tuning endeavor

they had leftover stock when i was ordering, so my 18x8.5 set was around $630 shipped.

also, that straight 5 spoke look is made by every company ever right now and it's so stale. those wheels have no character and for whatever reason people seem to eat them up.

Cause it's simple and clean. It looks good on lots of cars

the spokes can't be straight lines.

I'd like to venture to something less common on these. At one time I really wanted Bremmer Kraft BR05's. The have a replacement BR09 that's about the same. ASA also makes the GT5 which is about the same. And American muscle makes one that's about the same. What's your take on those?

These are the BR09's

ASA = BBS, BTW.

heh.

i'm still waiting for someone to throw on the 17x10 SC reps and make it happen.

Well I'm not your guy for the sc reps lol.

Bremmer Kraft a decent brand?

yeah, they're not bad.

Here's a thread with GT5's. I think I'd rather go ASA over BK since ASA's are made BBK.

-@,!&_:?!

I'm undecided on what I want too. I'm willing to spend good money on nice tires. It's gonna be a summer only toy so anything all season or a touring tire or anything of that nature is out of the question.

I want a summer only performance tire. I'm a fan of Bridgestone and Michelin. But I'd be open to others. I'd be willing to spend probably 800 bucks or so on a set.

Then probably have a pair of QTP's for the stock 16's for the front.

$800 is still a middle of the road tire, to be honest.

and why do you want a summer tire? what's wrong with a max performance all season? i would venture to guess that you'd lean towards the tires ability to last longer than to provide absolute traction since they'd not be the wheels you'd be running at the track anyway. just my thoughts because i'm doing the same thing (minus the track wheels/tires).

I'd prefer traction over life to an extent. The car won't get driven much. A 10-15K mile tire will probably last 2 years I'd bet. I'd still be willing to spend more. $1000 isn't much more when you're already $800 in.

Im not doing track wheels/tires other than the ET streets, QTP's or something like that for the front.

Local guy has these Bridgestone RE-11's on his Boss and they stick absolutely great. From what I've read guys get 15-20K out of them.

I use continental extreme contact dws 19s on the acura, I couldn't be happier with handling and how well they do in snow and rain. I've got almost 30k on them and they look new. They have a 6yr 50k treadlife warranty

GT500 cross lace replicas or whatever the fvck they are called are under 100 each on Americanmuscle.com they are about 26# each someone just ordered some on TCG.com IIRC like $84 dollars each. Not bad for the money.

less than 400 for wheels over 800 for tires sounds about right for a wbody sh1t can LOLOLOLOLOLOL
