I wouldn't dare change the suspension geometry on that car. Lotus did the chassis tuning, I think that's a no-no. Just throw some aftermarket wheels on it and smile.

Did any one you see the test report on the GT-R on top gear?

It said that the GT-R is capeable of such violent direction changes.. that the inside edge of the rims is knurled to stop the tyres coming off!

If this car is going to be driven hard.. I wouldnt change them either..

The car is also faster than a mac slr and ferrari 430 scuderia round the track :S

0-6 in 3.4s

Its a beast.

... like most Mercedes (ABC, Airmatic). Don't worry, some whizz-kid will figure it out.

Thumbs down

The stock wheels with nitrogen filled tires are integral part of the set up allowing GT-R to go so quick around the corners.
Switching the rims to aftermarket just for the sake of appearance smells like typical "ricer" attitude,looks (questionable) over performance.
