As everyone knows GT5 lacks on personalization options for the cars. The game has only about 10 different rims. What was PD thinking? :confused:

What are your favorite rims?

Do you think it would be good to have more rims in the game as DLC?
 
I hate hate hate the fact that you cant use all the rims available on any car you want. It's not because of realism either. I have seen a lot of aftermarket rims that are in GT5 on select cars but for some reason those rims that are in the game wont be available for the same car.

Perfect example. These rims are the most popular with Evo VIII and IX. They're also in GT5. But for some reason not available for the Evo IX

The Rim system is pretty flawed, apart from the fact that you cant change them on standards, you dont even get the whole range when you want to swap them around on your premium cars?????

The fact that all cars arent premiums is another story on its own!
 
No CE28's on the RX7. I want customization wheels too..

I don't care if this is the 'real driving simulator' every bit of racing takes some recognition into what car you're driving, tune, aftermarket parts are equipped onto your car.

It's foolish, but I'm still holding out for a patch that will let us customize the rims on standard cars. It feels like there's a huge hole in GT5 because of this missing feature... of course, a larger rim selection would be nice, perhaps a system like the one GT4 had would be nice, if people don't mind the fact that there's an element of randomness to them.
 
Wishful thinking, but it would be nice if they adapted the idea from forza where its not just looks, but weight is a factor as well.
 
Each Premium car has it's own set of Rims available to it, some have a lot, others don't. I would vote, "Not too bothered about Rims, but would happily accept more" if that or anything close to that was an option, but as it's not I won't vote.
 
I agree, when it comes to rims, the pickins are really thin. And what is with this weird "no rim change on standard cars"-thing!? :grumpy:
For example, i got me Tommy Kaira ZZII yesterday and the car itself is just insane but the wheels it comes with aren't exactly the finest there is.

As many others, i hope PD's are going to do something about it...
 
I miss the classic BBS LM (not the LM in the game) and BBS CH

Just bring back the tried and tested rims/wheels system of previous GTs. :)
 
Would be nice to choose size of the rims as well :)

I thought it did?? When you go into GT Auto to buy wheels is says something to the effect of buying lightweight wheels helps your car accelerate.

I don't think it changes the weight of the car though. At least not in the description/stats list. No idea if it actually changes the performance.

I would definitely like more wheels, or at least have all the wheels available for each car.
 
If it's an upgraded rims that reduce the overall weight of the car, then cool it will serve a purpose. If it's just to "pimp" your ride...

Somethings you just shouldn't do.
 
Rims, eh? Yes, but only if they come with spokes, hubs and, preferably, tyres too :sly:

I'd love to change the sizes, but I doubt the physics engine is up to that.
Plus, they should include the wheels from GT4 for standard cars and allow us to paint OEM wheels! They clearly can be (Spoon S2000 in GT4 had black wheels, in GT5 they're generic grey, like many other should-be-coloured wheels). I get the feeling this is the manufacturers' doing (or maybe just a few, spoiling it for the rest). I'd also love the ability to swap OEM wheels, like in GT4 - but then size issues creep in there, too.

I'm also convinced they make little difference to the driving feel.
 
You know, the reason Standard cars aren't able to change the rims/wheels, apart from the obvious reason that they didn't really spend much time on Standard cars at all, might have to do with 2 things.
One, if they had the same amount of options as they did in GT4, the for whatever reason extremely limited, Premium-selection would appear even more limited compared to it perhaps.
The other reason might have to do with pit-stops somehow, Standard cars are shown in chase cam with the wheels they're fitted with lying ready to be changed in the pit-lane whilst pit-stops in Premium cars can only be seen from within the interior, no wheels are seen.

Maybe they couldn't implement all modelled changeable wheels as it would be too much data maybe, or whatever, so each Standard car has a fixed set of wheels accurately displayed (and therefore programmed) in pit-stops and custom-rims on Premium cars conveniently aren't shown in pit-stops.

Why the Premium wheel-selection is so limited I don't know, however since these wheels are actually modelled now, instead of previous GT's graphical textures, makes it rather obvious that the selection would be much smaller than the one in GT4.
Basically the whole Premium car issue over again, more detail taking more time and thus less quantity but much higher quality although I doubt they also took months each to create....
The fact the whole selection isn't even available on all Premium cars baffles me to be honest so yes more wheels please.

Agreed. GT4 allowed rim change on what was basically standard cars, so i don't understand why they can't do the same in gt5
 
Who cares for rims... I care how a car runs, how fast and how well handles the turns... Rims and all that stuff is for Need for Speed...
 
Don't diss Need For Speed :)

We have enough rims for the Premium cars. Changing the rim sizes would be a better thing to add.

"Rims" may be for need for speed.
However, proper lightweight racing wheels that improved handling would be nice, as well as being able to change the sizes to allow for wider tires. This is how it works in "that other racing game", it would have been nice if the same was true here.

I would pay for the lineup of OZ Wheels, without a doubt.
 
What Id also like is the ability to retain any rim you bought so I dont have to buy the same rims again if I want to change back again. For Petes sake just give us a proper garage like you did in GT4 so we can store our cars and rims lol.
 
Yes this bothers me too, I thought they might improve on the wheels selection in GT5 some how, maybe add in more options like offset, width and diameter, but they've limited it like a lot of other things in GT5, I hate when they make certain parts of games worse than the previous version. The wheels do look better now though, but thats to be expected on a PS3.
The other thing I don't like is I have to buy the wheels just to see what they look like on the car, because I can't tell just looking side on, it's pretty much the most useless view to tell what a wheel will look like on a car. Also If i buy wheels for a car and I change back to standard or buy another set, the wheels I originally bought are gone and I have to buy them again if I want to change back, this makes no sense what so ever.

I didn't vote because I don't really understand what the second option means. I might pay for wheels i like, but I don't think I should have to. I would love some Rays TE37, I know they're in the game but they picked the ugliest version of the wheel to model.

Want more rims, but wouldnt pay extra for them. I like how Forza does it. There is plenty of choice (but sadly missing some improtant onces) where you can change the size aswell.
 
Yes we need more. I wasnt so bothered until I tried to put the Enkei RC-T4 on the new Sti sedan only to find out that this wheel is not available even though its a very popular choice for both the WRX and STi of all years.
 
They should at least give us what they had on GT4 for free. I'd pay for HRE, Fikse, iForged, CCW and DPE wheel sets.
