my supra has been called almost everything. a 240, firebird, probe, rx7, and of all things a talon!

I have had all those as well, LOL! I guess that the 80's were all about the retractable head-lighted hatch backs, and apparently no-one can tell the difference. Get a clue people:)

to the untrained eye from a distance they do all look the same. only thing my car hasnt been called yet is a 300zx.

God... those rims will fit anything.

I used to run a set of those on my eclipse, and my wife ran a set on her MX6 too. A friend of mine had them on an RX7 and another friend used them on a 300zx. My uncle even had a set on his Probe. lol.

The offset is a little odd for a RWD, but hey, for $35 each whatever. They look good.

BMW 8 series, too.
I wouldn't mind someone mistaking my car for an 8... they were good looking cars. I've only seen one in my life so far though.

Te72, I agree they are incredible tires, I get mine at discount tires and get them to match the tirerack.com price, theyre currently 195.00 ea. I payed 169.00 a couple of years ago, this is my thrid set.
Try pricing out the 315/35/17's sometime. ;)

A good alternative that I've found suitable is the Nitto NT05. Quite a bit cheaper, but quite sticky still. Haven't driven with a comparable size GSD3, so I can't give a definitive review of them, but for the price I can't complain.

te72, you got that right currently tirerack is getting $328.00 ea for the 315/35/17s which is exactly why I stick to the 16" rims on my N/A. On my turbo which is a work in progress, I'd like to have 18" all the way around.

Yeah, I'd love another set of GSD3's, but it's a little hard to swallow the extra $500 that the Goodyears would cost over the NT05's, for what I've seen to be comparable amounts of traction... But on an n/a, you're fine sticking with the 16's. Tire pricing is actually one of only two reasons I don't want to get a set of 18's...
