Ray's vs Anniversary GT4 wheels

[RafsZed]

Hi guy's, I have Anniversary GT4 wheels on my car but I was wondering which is a better wheel, the GT4 or the Rays.

 

Be interresting to see your thoughts on this.

[WhackyWill]

Think the GT4s are much heavier.

[Gudzy]

Define better.

 

The rays wheel is lighter but I think the GT4 wheel looks better.

[Grundy]

Why not have Rays on the Rear and GT4's on the fronts?........Just a suggestion

[chirag1988]

Mine has the GT4 Anniversary wheels - I quite like them as I see a lot of zeds with Rays on them and I like the chunky look of the GT4 wheels

The rays weigh about 8kg each, the GT4's I believe are around 12kg each. Thats a huge difference in unladen weight.

[RafsZed]

But would a weight saving of 4kg make any difference to the performance and handling of the car

Yes it would, ....but probably not noticeable to most of us.

It's not just a saving of 4kg it's 4kg x 4 wheels = 16kg in total, which is a sizeable saving in fairness.

 

I changed from the GT wheels to Rays recently and it is noticeable.

It's not just 16kg, it's unladen weight which is far more responsive to weight changes. Google it and you'll understand

Thanks guys very helpful, basically the Rays are a much better wheel.

Massive, massive difference. You'll be quicker in a straight line, more agile round corners, reduced braking distances, and a less firm ride.

Whilst I appreciate the weight saving, I much prefer the look of the GT4 wheels compared to the Rays (although they're both made by Rays).

[RafsZed]

Hmm I have to agree even if heavier I do like the look of the GT4 wheels.

[Ekona]

That's fine, I totally get that some people want to make their car slower but look better

[jollyranchers]

gt4 alloys look bigger as the spokes go right to the edge of the rims , rays as stated are lighter tho

[RafsZed]

Don't confuse me lol

[Hooch]

GT4's are terrible, really awful.

 

I have a set of Rays I would be willing to swap for them

The GT4's are not made by Rays

If your lucky enough to find a set there is always the rays ver.2 wheel. Which was a five spoke. Rare though!

There was a set on ebay the other day , don't know if they are still there though. It's the first time I've seen them for sale.

[the_doc]

I bet they weren't cheap!
