For anyone else wondering why.. Rays ran out of the "Face 1" that the 19x9.5 +17 used. Rather than make another batch, they are letting it be discontinued. So it wasn't just that exact size, but any other 19" wheel that happened to use a width and offset that required the "Face 1" style spokes. I would suspect that the GTS as a whole is on its way to being phased out, unfortunately

That would be a dumb move by them. Its one of their best looking wheels IMO.

That sucks, face 2 wheels have less brake clearance, will they still clear OEM brembos?

+14 will not clear Brembos or any BBK.
You will need to run a 5-10mm spacer to clear.

I was thinking the same thing. I would even get rid of the GT30 before the GT-S.....just my personal opinion.

Seems like the +14 GT-S will need to be priced so that the buyer can afford the wheel plus the spacer for the same price as the previous +17 version.
