I think people make too much of the IMSA "partnership", it seems more akin to a licensing agreement. IMSA have something similar with basically every other sim that includes their content, there's nothing special to PD/GT there.
 
Had a dream a couble of days ago, that gt8 got revealed, a new feature was being able to have more customize options for exhausts after upgrading them, i dont think that would be impossible, considering how far it already come in gt7
 
I sort of wonder what everyone's personal choices are when it comes to which center-lock wheels you apply to which cars?

For me, I leave the wheels on race cars as-is, as I only apply custom wheels to road cars, especially ones where I can install something like a widebody or other custom parts.

I don't think I've really had much use for the center-lock wheels from Enkei nor Rays. I do wonder if the Rays RW-GT3 wheels are only for race cars IRL, or if they've been installed on various road cars, too, as I do think they look good. Otherwise, I do seem to put the center-lock design from OZ or BBS on various European supercars that come with them as-stock. Meanwhile, the center-lock designs from Motegi Racing do seem to fit various Ferrari models very well, especially since they come stock with the 458 GT3, but like any other center-lock design, I personally only install them on cars that already come with center-lock wheels as stock.

Now, this applies to both center-lock wheels and those that aren't, but I do generally like to install wheels that resemble the factory wheels as close as possible. So I might put the OZ center-lock wheels on a McLaren F1, and then one of the BBS designs on a 911 GT3 RS. For many classic cars, I just install the tried-and-true BBS RS, such as on the newly-added Renault 4, though the American Racing wheels may prove more appropriate to some American classics. On Japanese classics in particular, it depends on how many lugs I can spot on the stock wheels, but if it's four, I might go for the four-lug version of the Rays TE37 SL or maybe the Work Equip 01. For modern cars with a rallying heritage behind them, especially Italian ones like the Abarth 500 or the newer Mini Cooper, that's when I'll especially go for the OZ Racing Leggenda.

EDIT: Although I recall at least one version of the Dodge Viper coming with six-lug wheels, I still find it personally fine to install a five-lug design, as I usually reserve any of the six-lug designs for one of the two pickup trucks. Hopefully we'll get the Dodge RAM Rebel and Chevrolet Silverado ZR2 to join the Toyota and Ford, and maybe even new rounds of the Pickup Truck Race to boot. Heck, the RAM Rebel could even get the Challenger SRT Demon's engine as an alternative option, but I digress.

Granted I did this in Sport (though I feel this'll continue to be the case when GT7 is in my hands) but the Advans, Enkeis, RAYS and Motegis tended to basically be on the Japanese race cars since that's usually what I notice in Real life (with the occasional European GT3 car cosplaying as a Asian entrant) while BBS and I forget which others is pretty much on any racing machine if appropriate.

If you want to race a stock Jimny or R4, all the beginner events are still there for you to go back to

The R4's PP rating is only 152.83, it doesn't even have a chance in Sunday Cup Classic.

Maybe it's just me, but I'd like to see a set of races for these real slow cars. There's 8 cars below 250 PP, 6 below 200. They could make a slower Sunday Cup type event with the cars currently in the game. Otherwise, they don't really have a place to go without upgrades.

It may be a pretty unpopular opinion though. They wouldn't be very exciting races, but they would be nice if you wanted to play with your Willys.
 
Regarding center lock wheels it depends on the style of the race car I’m trying to replicate. Case in point of cars I just replicated.

The centerlock six-spoke RAYS 8In game don’t look like these. So I went with the truck wheels with lug nuts. I hate to do it, but they look closer to the race wheel.

The Advan car have five spoke And multi-spoke Enkeis. I could have used the OZ wheels or Enkei centerlocks, but I wanted to replicate the 1995 #25 livery.

Why PD haven’t given us these style of centerlock options are beyond me.

Frankly, if they do the next major update then I want to see rather have new rims than a new race track.

I have two problems with the GT7 rims lineups.
One is that they are too biased towards Japanese brands.
And the other is too much bias towards modern sport/race style models. (Of course I understand both reason).

How great it would be if they signed a licensing deal with rotiform and added lots of old school rim tributes to the game.
If they add more ornate wheels like Weds Krenze to the game, how nice they would look on cars like the Alphard and Crown.

I hear that they are doing more serious calculations for clipping with all the cars when they add rims to the game than any other game.
Perhaps this is why there are so few rims in this game, and why they don't add any at all, but I still can't help but dream of the day when they add more unique rims.
Hey PD, could you please at least add 86 Gr.B and NSX Gr.B stock rims to the GT Auto wheel shop?
I think that with these two rims, the rally/90s touring car style livery will be even better.

New wheels would be awesome. It's possible there are more even already hidden in game files (maybe dataminers know anything about it?), considering this old pic.
But I feel like if they didn't add any even with Spec 2 then there's no chance we will be getting any in regular updates.

When you realize that GTA Online has more tunning options than GT7....

When you realize GTA's car models are not even a quarter as detailed as Gran Turismo's and are fictional so unlimited liberties can be taken...

Ι agree about that but deep customisation lacks in current GT. Rims haven't added from release i think...
 
I have to agree on new wheels, but what is needed is the ability to have original wheels available for other cars like the Borrani Wire wheels from the E-type on my TVR Speed 6
 
You need the option when you go to select new wheels to have wheels from the same make of vehicle you currently have selected, so if you for example have a BMW, you will see BMW as one of the brands of wheels and be able to choose wheels that are on other BMW models.

Seems we might have a new GT ambassador from the F1 world.

At the very least he's now an official PlayStation partner, or "Playmaker" as they've dubbed it.

Worth pointing out that this is playstation specifically doing this, whereas the Sebastian Vettel and Lewis Hamilton ("The Maestro" as he still is called in GT7) stuff were very specifically Gran Turismo.
 
He did say it was weird playing as himself. Maybe he can be unlocked in a future FF and FIFA.

I'd pay upto £3 per wheel set if PD offered them as DLC.

On the face of it that's not great value, but if I could get some 80's centre-lock BBS, or disc OZ wheels as seen in '90's rallying, I'd be all over 'em.

It's money left on the table from PD for cosmetic items. While we're at it offer a selection of wheels already fitted to in-game race cars. Most are off-the-shelf items from specialists rather than OEM wheels where there maybe licensing issues.

I think moreso the reason is licensing. The wheels that are currently available in GT Auto by a manufacturer of wheels would currently be for sale in their catalog and most retro wheels are not.

The old school, vintage, or OEM wheels would ideally be able to have a clause in the licensing agreement that they can be independently utilized, and then scaled up or down or extra width or offset. Or heck even just leave them at the OEM sizing and let them fit what they can in the car lineup. But since they're modeled they should at the very least be able to use them for most cars...

It can still open up an avenue for the inclusion of a current F1 car in GT7. We really need one.

It sure didn't when Vettel was in GT5 and GT6 (if anything, the Ferrari F2007 was simply a carry over from GT5P and was just thrown in alongside the F10 while having NONE of the current Ferrari F1 drivers at the time). Having Lando as a "PlayStation Playmaker" isn't a possible sign we're getting a Mclaren MCL38 just as Estaban Ocon being a GT Ambassador in GT Sport didn't magically give us the Renault R.S.19. All this is just setting yourself up for another disappointment.

Yes, if their (and many other racing game series) partnerships with individuals and racing series had resulted in "results", we would have had all the 2023 D1 Grand Prix cars and Pikes Peak cars by now.
And Forza would have had all the IMSA cars and Formula Drift cars, and would have had access to Hoonitron and Hoonipigasus by now.
