SAU has quite a few traders who would get these wheels in brand new for you. Best to PM some of them for a price, but you'll be looking at $3k+ as far as I know. GT-C's aren't the cheapest wheels around.

what do they mean by FACE 2

what do they mean by FACE 2

I've never really known what this meant to be honest, but looking at the Rays wheels website, the Face 1's come in 4 stud and 5 stud patterns whereas the Face 2 only came in 5x114.3. They both have different offsets and widths available too.

I've got no idea though, first thought it was to do with the brake clearance of the face, but they both can be made to clear the large calipers.

cool!

wat about deep dish on the rear??????

how much???

The amount of dish a wheel has will depend on the width, offset and face style. Made to clear larger calipers, less dish and vice versa.

If you're asking how much the above wheels have, no idea..

ive been looking ages for volk gt-c gold in 18'. All the traders ive emailed have none in stock including j-imports. Anyone know places that have current stock?!!!!!!!!

Mine had to be made in Japan, they are nearly here but Ive been waiting ~6 weeks for them so far.

Well since i have these wheels i can clear up the Face 1/2 thing. Its the spokes on the wheels, Face 1 have flat spokes that are pretty much vertical with the wheel, and Face 2 have a bit of a curve to the spokes so it kind of flares out (or is it the other way around...lol). Hope that makes sense....

^^^ Thats pretty much what it is. Difference is in spoke design. Face 2 also has less dish compared to Face 1 with the same width and offset.

Pretty sure the reason they make them in a Face1/2 is to clear large brake calipers by flaring out the spokes a bit.

What size/offset do you have and what mods were done to fit if any?

[drgnball34]

i found a set!!!

Front: 20-9.5 5/114.3 +20.

Rear: 20-10.5 5/114.3 +22.

Face 2.

It's going on a 34 GTT. Do i need spacers/rollered guards? How extensive are the mods required?

[n15m0]

Definately need guard rolling for those widths and offsets above. more suited to GTR guards. For a GTT you are better off going 8.5 and 9.5 with a +30 to +35 offset

[drgnball34]

we talking major rolling here? Is it worth it the hassel? Only other size i need to get from jap n can't b bothered waiting

[PM-R33]

Not sure if you will have to do this but i did and it was a pain in the f***ing ass! My wheel studs weren't long enough to fit the GTC's, you could only do one turn of the wheel nuts. So had to knock them all out and put in longer ones and them grind them down a little bit so they weren't too long.....Look into that to see if you have to change to longer wheel studs.

Can't remember my offsets, but they are 18x8 and 18x9 and fit fine. with no guard rolling etc.

[drgnball34]

Finally found a "more" suitable set. 19 x 8.5 +5 dish 80mm front and 19 x 9.5 +12 dish 86mm rear. I also put a deposit down. Supplier assured that i need rolled guards 5-10mm but nothing too major. Im abit uneasy the more i look at the offsets though. Any insight as to what im in for? Any help muc appreciated
