    Thanks,
    I am considering the 8X15 "Superlite" GTR wheel, just wanted to see what the difference is.

    I have just bought a set of the Superlite wheels for my car, not the GTR's though.

    The reason I didn't go for the GTR's is that they have a sticker on the back over which the clear cost is sprayed (so you can't peel it off) to say that the wheels are not for normal road use or wording to that effect. At least that's what they have down here in Australia.

    Just a thought if you are ever in an accident and you insurance company looks at the wheels.....

    They are nice though

    I understand that even the GTR wheels are really strong. I guess that the Trans Am guys are using them.

    Thanks for the hint.
