I've been waiting for this, but I wonder which wheels they will give us to use. The current ones, all the wheels ported over from GT4 maybe?
 
This, so this. That car is getting so much more drive time now because I can get rid of those god awful hubcaps. *shudders*:yuck:

Same goes for the Eagle Talon. It's just a shame the Talon doesn't stay 2-tone if you paint it.
 
1998 3000GT VR-4 is first, I hate those wheels. Then I'm changing every other standard car's wheel just because I can.

Except the 87 GNX. That car has the best stock wheels in the game, plus they are the same as the Pontiac Trans Am/GTA wheels...

They were the best rims in GT4! look great on everything.
 
I just hope that every standard rim become available to switch on the standard and premium cars. The GT40's Deep Dish rims are wicked and I would love to be able to two tone color paint those on my Ford GT. PD needs to add the ability to do two tone colors on car bodies and rims that are more than one piece. Anyone have a close up of the GT 40's awesome rims? The possibilities of rim swapping and painting are just awesome, PD give us more options for painting cars. Like being able to choose which panels get painted before sending it through and being able to choose multiple colors for one paint job for one price. Also have templates for different style of painting cars using multiple colors. PD can add styles that can be unlocked through coupons from winning races but the styles will be once unlocked always unlocked. PD could also have special paint templates that can be won and cannot be traded for completing specific tasks in online time trials and other driving related trials.

O yes! Finally new rims. The supra can finally be cooler. The eclipse like in fast and the furious the green one looks awesome but looks like **** as a normal car. I can't wait to be able to change the rims, add a spoiler and cool paint so it can finally be a decent looking car. It will be the first car I change and add to my tune garage.

Edit: ahah read back some pages and a lot of people agree with this car

In real life its rims look great but for some reason they look like crap in game.

I'm going for the 3rd gen Supra's. I hate those "sawblades." They're heavy beasts too.

I'm up for swapping rims on the supra and the classic ae86's, old school muscle probably comes next. It is of course a well known fact that if a race car is beautiful it will be fast. (If you don't believe me google jaguar D-Type, gulf gt40 or alfa 33, any version, though the early stradale is the best looking, I'd almost be tempted to pay PD the development costs to make those premium.) Though at least we have a version of the gulf gt40
 
Am I the only person who can't see the wheels on my car when I'm driving? :/
No, but you might be the only one that doesn't take photos and/or watch replays of their car where the wheels are clearly visible. :dopey:
Actually these are both true. ;) And I do like a good set of wheels on my car. It's just that this wasn't really high on my wish list. Then again the black interiors and swappable wheels were stated by Kaz as two headaches for the team to remedy. So hopefully the team can now get to work on MUCH more serious stuff for both GT5 and 6. 👍
 
Surprised no one has said the M3 CSL. They messed up and put the regular M3 rims on it. Hopefully, we can switch between stock wheels like GT4 let us. I miss that the most.

I was thinking about that last night...in gt4 the csl rims were AWESOME, and i used them on all the bmw's....really hope they bring that rim back.
 
I'm happy to see that this is the only decent thread about new stuff that's coming along with the 2.02 path. All the rest just became FM vs GT war again... and again.
 
It could be like the paint chips, if you buy the car you get the wheels. This will not only make people buy more cars, but also I dont know about yourselves, but I've actually bought cars just for the paint colour, so I assume if this is the case people will be paying crazy money for wheels.

I once paid about 500'000Cr just for a certain shade of a colour, which once I applied didnt look right so I repainted it again! Ahhh all the joys of Paint chips :D
 
If that were the case then I hope the game would count cars which are already in your garage rather then having to buy more again. My main hope/concern is regards the of the quality of the wheels, if they are as low poly and awful as the current standard wheels then there isn't a lot of point. However if they are premium or close to premium quality then that will make a massive step in bringing the standard cars closer to current gen quality.
 
I think I will change some rims, I hope the Goodyear tyre (yellow) is available, but I think I only need the rim painting.

Or not?

Can't see...

War, war never changes.

Any update if the rims will be from GT4 or HQ selection?

I asked Kaz on twitter, but I don't think he will reply. It's better to assume that it will be GT5 system. Anything above that will be added bonus for me. Also I have strong feeling that at some point we will get wheels dlc pack.

PS: Range Rover Stormer, black on black rims. That will be a mad monster :)

Kudos friend, now if I can put these on my GT '06 black center and chrome everywhere else i will be one happy customer. A nice set of shoes makes an old car look and feel like a million bucks. Come on PD I know you guys are up to something, but we need more variation in painting cars, just one solid color is for the birds, we need more.

I take issue with this for two reasons, one PD have steadily increased the visual fidelity of standards with all the updates, and two standard wheels don't look as crappy as they originally looked. I noticed the wheels changing drastically, they are more detailed than the standard cars themselves, have a look at standard cars with intricate rim designs and you will see what I mean. Heck PD even have the brake covers modeled and colored, slotted discs are slotted, cross drilled as well. Standards aren't as low detailed as you care to believe you know.

The rims should be available in the rim shop, would be stupid and ignorant to have you get rims by having to buy the car. Only rare cars should offer that kind of scavenger hunt, but for the majority of cars I just want their wheels front and center ready to be purchased. I don't need an extra homework assignment to get the all elusive rim because the blasted car won't show up in the UCD and I have to wait for it to appear in the OCD, no thank you! Tired of hunting, I want to enjoy my game and my newly minted rims, freshly painted and strut my stuff...guaranteed I will be saving lots of replays now. Customization is coming to GT5 in a way GT hasn't had it before, keep up the good work PD.


Side Note: While we are expecting the rim changing on standard cars, we know that we can expect some cars just won't be able to change their rims like the FGT, and many of those concept cars might not be allowed to change their rims and the Race cars might not allow it either. Here's hoping PD forget and do like in GT3, let you put any rim on any car you wanted. One can't remember that not all cars can be modified visually the F430 taught me that painful lesson. Oh PD one more thing, why isn't there an option to remove the spoiler from cars that come with one stock? One more thing, lose the permanent upgrade options, like stiffening, engine tune ups and weight reduction...it's so aggravating to have permanent stuff like that in the game when most everything else resets itself automatically. It's still a game first and foremost, I don't really like having to sift through multiple cars just tunes thank you. No point to having so many cars when you accumulate mileage, i rather wear out one then get another and use that one, not have 6 cars each gaining miles...when i have to replace those it will be one painful day on the wallet...stupid 20 million credit crap, once I got penniless trophy that ceased to make any sort of sense. Come on people lets get the word to Kaz to automatically remove the credit limitation upon receiving the penniless trophy, that is your bonus prize :).


pointless! It will be Real wheel changing simulator for you! What about driving?
WHAT?!? I know many people can get a point across in few words, but this gets absolutely nothing across but the fact that you haven't a clue why you're posting. just want to disagree but have nothing really to say but a ridiculous assumption.
