In this thrilling installment of Tj Hunt's car vlogs, we witness the culmination of his tireless pursuit for the perfect set of wheels for his GT3 RS. This man is no stranger to the world of aftermarket mods and tuner cars, and his dedication to JDM culture shines through in this episode. With his expertise in car builds and a passion for all things automotive, Tj Hunt takes us on a journey as he unveils the highly sought-after BBS e89 wheels that have been meticulously modified to fit his Porsche. It's a match made in automotive heaven.
But let's not forget the challenges that come with such a venture. Tj Hunt shares the hurdles he encountered in his quest for the ideal wheel setup. The e88 wheels were a no-go due to their inability to clear the carbon ceramics on his RS. However, our intrepid host discovered the elusive e89 setup, a true 20-inch wheel with a 19-inch center that seamlessly transitions to a 20-inch lip and barrel. It's a feat of engineering that showcases the ingenuity of the aftermarket world.
Now, here's where things get interesting. To make these wheels work their magic on the GT3 RS, some uncomfortable modifications to the brakes are required. But Tj Hunt is undeterred by such obstacles. He'd rather grind down the calipers than compromise the performance of his beloved Porsche. It's a testament to his unwavering dedication to the art of car modification and his refusal to settle for anything less than perfection.
With the wheels and tires ready to be mounted, Tj Hunt takes a moment to appreciate the sheer size and presence of the rubber he has chosen. The 265/35/20 front and 325/30/20 rear Cup 2 tires are a sight to behold. These meaty beasts will undoubtedly enhance the already impressive aesthetics of the GT3 RS. It's a tantalizing glimpse into the world of high-performance driving and the thrill of drifting.
But before the transformation can take place, the center locks must be removed from the Porsche. Tj Hunt, ever the resourceful enthusiast, recalls Calvin's ingenious five-studded conversion to a central lock on his old S13 hatch. Armed with the necessary tools, our intrepid host embarks on the task at hand, eager to conquer the unknown.
As the socket engages with the center locks, there's a palpable sense of anticipation in the air. The tension builds, and with a twist, the locks begin to yield. It's a moment of triumph, a testament to the relentless pursuit of automotive excellence.
