I'm thinking of getting a set of 4 GTR front wheels and then sending 2 of them to weldcraft to get them widened to 20x11 with a 45 offset for the rears on an M56. Would love to know how the 2013+ GTR wheels might look. Thanks in advance.

This.

OR

If you can get me a good straight-on-side angle shot of your car or can find me a GTR with a similar angle to yours, I can definitely do this for you.

Thanks! Seeing how they look, I'm thinking the more simple early GTR wheels may fit the lines of the car better.

I would double check offsets just to make sure they fit. The rears may be questionable. If you happen to get them, post up pics! I think on a dropped ride, they would look great.

Will do. I was going to get 4 front GTR wheels 20x9.5 offset of 45 and then send 2 to be widened to 11.25" for the rears but I'll need to push them out toward the fender with spacers to avoid contact on the suspension side. Found this mock up and it looks great.

The cost of widening, shipping bothways and spacers puts the set around $2,000. I think i can get Forgestars in the perfect offsets for cheaper. Anybody bored enough for taking a crack at rendering these wheels on a black M?

I prefer the older version GTRR wheels...they just look beefier which to me works with the proportions of the car...

I agree. Every other wheel the GTR followed up with was uglier and uglier.
