Hey MB Circle - I decided to sell my set of GTR wheels on the marketplace. I haven't put them on Ebay as of yet, probably because Im a little leary of selling them - they are really hard to find.
In this case, the wheels are perfect and no curb rash at all. TPMS is included as well as center caps and a set of Sport Cups all around that are new - I pulled the stickers off of them and put about 150 miles on them before they went back on the shelf. They have vinyl on them to minimize the aluminum lip but it can be easily taken off. I preferred that look but you may not and I didnt want to make a permanent change that could be misdiagnosed as damage repair.
They fit GTRs as well as the GTC. They will not fit a GT or GTS. Feel free to PM me for details - Im located in the 94551 zip code.
I ended up having a pair of signatures made in the end that I really like. I don't intend to track this car, so figuring that they can go to another home - they are so hard to find that I figure its better than hoarding them and collecting dust.
Want to ask a newbee question, 3 weeks into my GT and still on a learning curve. Why will they not fit a GT?
Is it different bolt circle pattern
Different hub diameter?
Different offset?
something else I'm not thinking of?

It's the offset - the back end of the GT-C is 2" wider and so the offset on these wheels is for that. Think of it like the 911 vs the 911 Turbo. GT/GTS are same. GTC is the same on the front and 2" wider on the rear. And, the GTR has the same rear as the GTC and is also 1.7" wider on the front end too.
