  • New shoes for the R32 - GTC GT-CX 18x8.5 +45

    Hi all,

    Finally have them installed. I also rate the new rubber (Dunlop SP Sport Maxx TT) very highly as well.

    Lowering is on the cards, but not entirely sure when at this point.

    Enjoy!

      Thanks. Yeah, very very similar! Really wanted the VMR's but these were too good a deal to pass up.

        Still looks the goods.
        Does the car feel any different now?

          It sure does. I don't know if it is the new rubber or the wider rim, or the combination of both, but the car grips a hell of a lot better now. The amount of grip in the wet is just plain silly.

            Nice, I'm considering these for my R32 as well, but in the matte anthracite finish. What size tyres did you fit on them?

              225/40 - gives a little bit of stretch to minimise the need for camber if I ever get around to lowering it.
