GSL-SE Wheel performance
How are the stock GSL-SE wheels in the twisties? Can they hold there own compared to wider wheels? Whats the lowest profile tires out there for the SE wheels?

They're not bad, but they're not really that great because they are only 5.5" wide like all the other 1st gen wheels. 14" is a really lame size to try to get tires for. Stock is 205/60 and I think that's just about your only choice, unless you want R-compound, then you can get 205/55. You can get some pretty nice tires in 205/60, though. The GSL-SE is really light and you don't need super wide tires unless you have lots of power.
For real tires you want 15x6 or 16x7... I think people use 16x7 without going crazy with flares and offset.

15x7/9 is definitely wider but the body modifications required to do that might deter most people
Hay Trochoid, what size tires do you have on there now, and what are you planning when you upgrade wheels? Do you think you'll see a big improvement? Isn't it hard enough to steer now?
