Default 07 Touring vs Grand Touring

I am going to place an order this week for a 07. I havent yet settled on which model to get.

Touring w/ Aero Kit
or
Grand Touring

are the RAYs 18/19s and Brembos worth ~3,000? that seems to be the only difference I see between the models.

tia for advice.

The 18/19 Rays are a beautiful set of wheels and nobody really has them. I actually would've loved a track model, but so much for that..

Personally I alerady have Aftermarket Volk rims. So the rays did not matter to me. All I wanted were the brembos and it was not worth the 3k just for the brembos for me :/

Just get the Touring, and get a better looking set of wheels, and get some better brakes later down the road.

Yeah, I'm contemplating the same thing. Along with the Brembos and Rays use also get the aero package. I think its worth the 3 g's. Brembos alone could run you over 3,000. I'm thinking of just getting the GT and later on selling the wheels and brakes. That is if I ever feel like upgrading to something else.

Hey I like those tires =) I'm rolling on them now - they come on the 19" optional Rays from the G35 coupe

3g's for the package prolly breaks down to 60-75 bucks per month in payment, or $2.00-$2.50 per day. I'd say yes to the package.

$1500 for brakes and $1500 for the wheels with factory warantee. Humm.

It's worth it unless you want wider tires / wheels later. For $3000 you can't really get a nicer set of wheels that are wider .... and then there's the Brembos that will add to the value.



Heck want do I know I bought a Base and '06 Wheels for $1000.
