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

Re: The Purple Car Stock pulley bidness on pg 37

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.
 


Re: The Purple Car Stock pulley bidness on pg 37

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.

uploadfromtaptalk1452826226804.jpgthose are gorgeous wheels. What you planning on wrapping them with? Im getting the ar904 satin and prob going to stick with pzeros, excellent tire for the money. For me anyways. I've had 20"s on it for a couple years. Immense grip like hurt you with the seatbelt, but too big, heavy and tired of the polishing. [/IMG]

Just can't make my mind up about what to wrap mine with. All the diff vendors, choices THEY provide? Seldom am I as decisive as this has made me currently. Specially how upset the Wifey was lwhen she saw the account after the wheels were deducted but,,, Asking for forgiveness is STILL easier
 
Re: The Purple Car Stock pulley bidness on pg 37

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.
 
Re: The Purple Car Stock pulley bidness on pg 37

$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).
 
Re: The Purple Car Stock pulley bidness on pg 37

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.

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
