Red GTS,
Not to rain on your parade, but you need to be very careful with the wheels you purchased as the seller may have not have mentioned how fragile they are. While extreemely light, due to their Magnesium construction, they are not the strongest wheel out there by any means. We ran these lightweight BBS magnesium racing wheels on World Challenge Comp Coupes and our GTSs years ago. You need to check the manufacturer's dates on them as Viper Race Headquarters actually had teams discard them after a specific amount of track time as they were considered a "wear" item due to their construction. We discontinued using them as they were simply too expensive to keep replacing. They were about $7K shipped for a set of (4 rims) Ouch!

Yes sir. I had the check out when they where stripped. It's a weekend cruiser so it will not see heavy street use. I got them for really cheap so I decided ill go for it
A lightweight wheel is not a good choice for the street. My GTS did occasional street time and developed a crack in one of the lightweight Forgelines. Welded it, cracked again.

It's not like he's gonna use these for Asian carryout delivery...
