Raised white letters on tires

[bonehead]

See, that's what I'm talkin' 'bout.

Yeah….but;

The white letters always look better on the concept cars. Although the concept in this case didn't vary much from the production version.

 

[bonehead]

I guess not so horrible. The terrible wheel gap didn't help.

Yeah, I think part of what makes the red prototype look so good is how tightly the tires fit the fenders. And the deep dish wheels, of course.

I’d commission a set of those wheels! Seriously considering a set of HRE’s. I’m a sucker for a 5 spoke.

I too prefer 5, or 5 into 10.

Im with ya... 5 spoke.
Now my cars lower and with little more camber but I think the OE BBS rims need to be 1" wider (like pic) and pushed out .5-.75 inch for better well filling (staying with BStones as rubber)
To me the only weak area visually in the GT is the fender/big hip and tire relationship.
Nice thing to bitch about.

I normally like a 5 spoke rim as well, but I REALLY love the look of the 6-spoke rim and tire combo on that red GT concept car!

[2112]

Personally, I like tires with sidewall. Both for the ride quality and the fender filling ability.

 

[Submoose]

Yep, that is the 305 Monoblock I’m considering. I want a Tungsten color to take a bit of the brightness off the factory wheel but plan to stick with 18 and 19 stock dimensions like 2112 said to keep Bridgestones. In a completely unrelated topic…weeeeee I can attach pics finally!

Now you just need to embed them

That seems like a risky way / location to house any 4 cars, but especially higher value sports cars. You must not be concerned about the high visibility and tempting thieves, though, so what kind of security system do you have?

I was thinking the same thing

Yeah embed…one thing at a time I guess. As for the cars, the Police roll through all hours of the day/night and we rotate the cars quite a lot. Three of those were there for my detailers to work on and the Vette is living on the lift right now with door/latch work. Security system works, I’ve set it off myself many times

... and keep good insurance

This is St Louis, not Detroit. People have a tendency to respect others property. I never worry about attending car venues and leave cars open all the time.
