RafsZed Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhackyWill Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Think the GT4s are much heavier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gudzy Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Define better. The rays wheel is lighter but I think the GT4 wheel looks better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grundy Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Why not have Rays on the Rear and GT4's on the fronts?........Just a suggestion 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chirag1988 Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 The rays weigh about 8kg each, the GT4's I believe are around 12kg each. Thats a huge difference in unladen weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RafsZed Posted May 29, 2014 Author Share Posted May 29, 2014 But would a weight saving of 4kg make any difference to the performance and handling of the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT Driver Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 But would a weight saving of 4kg make any difference to the performance and handling of the car 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 (edited) But would a weight saving of 4kg make any difference to the performance and handling of the car It's not just 16kg, it's unladen weight which is far more responsive to weight changes. Google it and you'll understand Edited May 29, 2014 by KyleR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RafsZed Posted May 29, 2014 Author Share Posted May 29, 2014 Thanks guys very helpful, basically the Rays are a much better wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 But would a weight saving of 4kg make any difference to the performance and handling of the car Massive, massive difference. You'll be quicker in a straight line, more agile round corners, reduced braking distances, and a less firm ride. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samsniss350z Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 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). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RafsZed Posted May 31, 2014 Author Share Posted May 31, 2014 Hmm I have to agree even if heavier I do like the look of the GT4 wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 That's fine, I totally get that some people want to make their car slower but look better 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jollyranchers Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 gt4 alloys look bigger as the spokes go right to the edge of the rims , rays as stated are lighter tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooch Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 GT4's are terrible, really awful. I have a set of Rays I would be willing to swap for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_doc Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 If your lucky enough to find a set there is always the rays ver.2 wheel. Which was a five spoke. Rare though! Sent from my HTC One X+ using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
