Anyone else get banned from the G8X section for making fun of its looks?

After today's update my freeze date moved up significantly. This can't be right……can it?

Yep happened to me when I had a configuration that was doable in a sooner slot. You got lucky!

Damn! That's awesome. Sixteen days closer to lock and it's finally beginning to feel real. All I did was change wheels from the Classics to gloss black S wheels and add the black Motorsport stripe, gloss black window trim and gloss black "911" badge.

Haha! I'll have Thescout13 and Arcades there too. It would make for a really cool photo op.

It’s gonna look nice. Guntherwerkes has a sweet 993 with white/black stripes w/bronze wheels. They pulled the theme off nicely; check it out.

It does happen.

Mine moved up a month. Originally the lock date was scheduled end of June but became start of June. The GSM called me to warn me about the change and I had to lock my build in for certain.

I would check with your dealership first and make sure though just in case.

Looking for opinions on new shoes for my MW F82. I was originally looking for some Bronze/Gold style but seeing those silver/chrome ones the other day made me think that perhaps that would be a better look with the color of the car.

Currently I'm looking at two options
BBS CI-R


or V-FF 103's

These are graphite finish but I think you can get titanium finish too for a more silver look but I can't find images of it on the car

I like the spoke design on the BBS's.

My struggle is that I think the 103's design fit the lines of the car very well while it doesn't seem like a BBS copy and maintain the same Y spoke-ish design while the rears seems a bit concaved.

BBS are lovely too and pretty much classics!

I'm all for spending less money on wheels. Go with the 103's!!!

They're pretty much the same as far as I've gathered locally

I love Y spoke for F8X - the holy grail is the GT4 wheel

Have you looked at Titan T-S5? They're also coming out with another Y spoke called T-P5 early next year

White w/ ST 18s


White w/ ST 19s


White (MW?) w/ Bronze 19s

GT4s are only 18s tho right?

I've been looking at keeping the 20" setup.

Also Titans don't seem to be sold locally and would probably cost a lot for shipping from the US but they do look nice too.

Edit: Those ST-19 looks nice


I wonder how the T-S5 would look in 20x9.5 +22 and 20x11 +44

Ohh yeah T-S5 might be tough since they'll have to ship from the US. Here's pics on 20s btw even though one pic is that distorted view pic that people use on G8X

Titans are a good value play, but with shipping/import you might be able to justify spending a little more for BBS or HRE

$300 estimated shipping and then +25% import tax which makes them 3600ish + 25% which is a nice pair of anything else really.

V-FF103's cost about the same as the T-S5's pre shipping.
BBS seems to run about the same as T-S5 + Shipping and then a little bit.

I just think that the Shadow 666M's hide so much which is a shame cause I love the design.

I'd go with the lightest wheel you can get that you also like the look of. The CI-Rs are heavier than even your OEM wheels.
