Hey Guys, so I've been driving around in my new GT for 2 weeks now and have to say I have never loved a car as much as I love this machine. The color is awesome, the interior feels luxurious even as a "base" car, feels just like a cockpit, and the performance is powerful, smooth, and sharp. I've been meaning to post some pictures but have not had time. We got our first snow in Jersey the other night and it is getting consistently cold so I pulled the summer stock set of wheels off and threw on my winter set up:
AMR Charcoal Wheels 19x8.5 Square (Thanks Alex from American Muscle)
Dunlap SP Winter Sport 3D Tires 245/45/19
I wanted to make sure that these didn't stick out from the body, especially with the different offset than the stock wheels so I went for a more narrow setup. (narrower tires also being generally better in the snow) I'm pleased to say that they don't stick out and look pretty cool I think. The tires almost make it look like it should be going off-road!
I haven't driven around on the winter set up much yet but initial impressions:
That's all I have for now, I'm putting some pictures up, they are not great, all phone pictures but eventually I'll use a real camera. If anyone has any questions let me know!

I haven't driven around on the winter set up much yet but initial impressions:
- Tires are softer, absorb the bumps a little better
- Tires make more noise at higher speeds than the stock summer tires
- Some of the crispness of the handling has been diminished, softer/narrower tires cause more pitch and roll when turning
- On the warm days the summer set was great, the dunlaps grip much better under 50 degrees
That's all I have for now, I'm putting some pictures up, they are not great, all phone pictures but eventually I'll use a real camera. If anyone has any questions let me know!
