Gransport wheels on 3200GT

[CiaranONeill]

Has anyone put Gransport or other 19' wheels on their 3200Gt?

They do fit... but at a cost, not just £££ but ride and comfort.

I've taken the 19's off my GS and put 18's off a 4200 on mine.
I'm loving the comfort gained.

You must be all getting old.
For comfort I take out my 40 year old Daimler XJC

19 inchers on the GS was I am sure purely for marketing reasons.
I recall many a road test on the current BMW M3 at the same time reporting that 18" wheels gave a much better ride and handling compared to the optional 19" wheels... that also suffered from crack rims like the GS.
Heck the Trofeo 4200 ran 18" wheels and that was for track only!

18's are the way forwards for us Race Boys then Mike.
Glad I have two sets for mine down here

 

[safrane]

There are pattern GS wheels available from ES for 50% of factory cost.

 

[Contigo]

Yes they have.

 

[allandwf]

Yes they have.

They quite suit that .

I got a set too, they look great and are not made out of biscuits like the original GS wheels, my avatar shows the car on 18s.

 

[redsonnylee]

They look much better than I expected, very smart.

 

[mjheathcote]

Of course you can always stick to the more sensible 18" but go with the Formula Dynamics Veloce Corsa/Forgestar F14 wheels!

I found some satin black concave wheels to emphasis rear width that ended up quite flush with guards I like them
But everyone has their own opinion on looks And purists hate u touching anything so expecting to get shot down but I’ll post up a pic so u can have a look anyway
