what do they mean by FACE 2

I've never really known what this meant to be honest, but looking at the Rays wheels website, the Face 1's come in 4 stud and 5 stud patterns whereas the Face 2 only came in 5x114.3. They both have different offsets and widths available too.

I've got no idea though, first thought it was to do with the brake clearance of the face, but they both can be made to clear the large calipers. :happy:

cool!

wat about deep dish on the rear??????

how much???

SAU has quite a few traders who would get these wheels in brand new for you. Best to PM some of them for a price, but you'll be looking at $3k+ as far as I know. GT-C's aren't the cheapest wheels around.

The amount of dish a wheel has will depend on the width, offset and face style. Made to clear larger calipers, less dish and vice versa.

If you're asking how much the above wheels have, no idea..

Well since i have these wheels i can clear up the Face 1/2 thing. Its the spokes on the wheels, Face 1 have flat spokes that are pretty much vertical with the wheel, and Face 2 have a bit of a curve to the spokes so it kind of flares out (or is it the other way around...lol). Hope that makes sense....

What size/offset do you have and what mods were done to fit if any?

Not sure if you will have to do this but i did and it was a pain in the f***ing ass! My wheel studs weren't long enough to fit the GTC's, you could only do one turn of the wheel nuts. So had to knock them all out and put in longer ones and them grind them down a little bit so they weren't too long.....Look into that to see if you have to change to longer wheel studs.

Can't remember my offsets, but they are 18x8 and 18x9 and fit fine. with no guard rolling etc.

Finally found a "more" suitable set. 19 x 8.5 +5 dish 80mm front and 19 x 9.5 +12 dish 86mm rear. I also put a deposit down. Supplier assured that i need rolled guards 5-10mm but nothing too major. Im abit uneasy the more i look at the offsets though. Any insight as to what im in for? Any help muc appreciated

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
