No such thing as a GT only wheel except for 18", you can put the Tri Bar Pony Center Cap on any model, but it ain't a "GT WHEEL" for "GT Tires".

i am talking about the 17in bullits w/ p-zero neros that were only available to the GTs in 05

LEJAY

if they were only available on GT's,....... Did you get them with the car at delivery ? or add them later?
If the car came with that, and it was only available on GT's. I don't understand your comment.

chrisc

in 05 they were only available for the GT, in 06 the pony package came out and had them available when you got that package

LEJAY

WTF r u talking about ?????
Last comment from me on this, as you change your story on every post.
Call your wheels anything you want, and go to Pirelli and ask them what the Z means.
I'm thinkin' ZERO brains on your end.

chrisc

you obviously have no knowledge about what the factory options on these cars are, so before talking sh*t, please try to raise your IQ to at least the level of a small rodent

i understand your ??? and you are correct the pony package gives you the same 17 in wheels and tires that in o5 were only on gt's. Z rated tires are hi-speed rated. and at the ire of the elite gt owners i bought the v6 w/pony package because i like the style better and i,m not interested in being the first away from the light or driving twice the speed limit plus , if folks wanna do it knock your self out ,not my cup of tea we all enjoy our cars and take pride in "real american cars"

chrisc

thank you

does anybody know the rating of the tires?

Menace

M 81 mph 130 km/h
N 87 mph 140km/h Temporary Spare Tires
P 93 mph 150 km/h
Q 99 mph 160 km/h Studless & Studdable Winter Tires
R 106 mph 170 km/h H.D. Light Truck Tires
S 112 mph 180 km/h Family Sedans & Vans
T 118 mph 190 km/h Family Sedans & Vans
U 124 mph 200 km/h
H 130 mph 210 km/h Sport Sedans & Coupes
V 149 mph 240 km/h Sport Sedans, Coupes & Sports Cars

When Z-speed rated tires were first introduced, they were thought to reflect the highest tire speed rating that would ever be required, in excess of 240 km/h or 149 mph. While Z-speed rated tires are capable of speeds in excess of 149 mph, how far above 149 mph was not identified. That ultimately caused the automotive industry to add W- and Y-speed ratings to identify the tires that meet the needs of new vehicles that have extremely high top-speed capabilities.

W 168 mph 270 km/h Exotic Sports Cars
Y 186 mph 300 km/h Exotic Sports Cars

This is from Tirerack. -- So like we already said in early posts. Z = Anything in excess of 149 mphs. W & Y specify which. Pirelli's are W rated, so 168 mph. -- You don't have to worry about this because I doubt you'll be going 168mph.
