Orange Porsche GT3RS - Full race?

[jeremy5000]

Our views of a track car differ in a few ways, but I'm not gonna start to argue in a thread thats isnt mine. If you care to argue feel free to pm me. Beautiful car op, and thats all that matters in this thread!

That quote specifically states that it isn't a track car...

No track car has wheels that big since R-Comps aren't made in rubber band sizes, and even if they were they'd be even more expensive than they already are.

Pretty sure its a car which sees the track and street, hence TRACK CAR.

How is that a track car other than the wing?

The wing comes stock on all gt3r's and the car was set up by Otsuka-san*who owns the check shop which is a german car tuning company in japan.

This was taken from the article

" As Otsuka-san told me the idea was to work with a few requests that his customer’s had. Not having too much time on his hands the owner wouldn’t be able to enjoy the GT3 RS on the track as much as he would like to, so wanted to spice up the looks, injecting a bit of street style, enough to get him noticed but in no way impacting the car’s awesome performance."

People here appreciate all types of cars, or at least most of us do.

As a GT3 owner I can see both sides of this debate. The owner of this car has a single set of wheels for the car. 18's (smaller than the OEM 19's that came on the car) are the correct choice for maximum performance in that application. Everything about that car from the 4.2L motor build to the Ohlins remote resivoir shocks is performance oriented so I feel the wheel choice was the right one for the purpose of that particular vehicle. I don't like black wheels at all personally but I do wish my CCW track wheels for my car were black sometimes because they're always ugly and dirty anyhow.

It's just the audience here is looking for something different. As others have stated it's a preference thing. People come here to appreciate agressively fitted cars which this particular example is not. I think you just have to frame that car for what it is to appreciate it.

Not feeling anything about it at all, overkill with the orange and those wheels dont do anything for the car.

Would much prefer something like this, which is also set up as a track car.

I just think it could've been executed better.. Not the same car, but I think Brian Henderson's porsche displays a much better example of a wheel style for something like this. A forum is for feedback... I thought. We're just stating our opinions like you have. So questioning someone's opinion is really just rather silly.

We're not questioning your opinion, we're telling you it's wrong.

Way to ruin it with those wheels.

x2

"Those wheels" would refer to the ones on the vehicle and you agreed with that. The ones on the car are the HREs

You stating that the HREs ruined the car is rather silly. Plain and simple. They don't look worse than the stock wheels. Do you think the car was "ruined" when it came with stock wheels from the factory?

Do I like that stance better on the car you posted? Sure. But this is a racecar set up, not a show car set up.

i never stated the HRE's ruined it. i stated that something like the photo i posted is more appealing to the eye. but okay
