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

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.

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!

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

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!

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?

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

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.
