GRP are the initials of an Italian company that makes a lot of the foam tires that you can buy. I believe they make Ellegi, Fast, Treadz, and Best foam tires. I'm sure there are more.

What you need to be aware of for your car is, what is the stock offset of the wheels? 0mm? 2mm? other? If you follow what's stock you most likely will have no problems fitting the wheels onto your car. One exception is if you go wider than stock, say 30+mm in the rear with stock upright configuration meant for 26 mm wheels. Also check with people here and other forums that have your car on what works and what doesn't. Sometimes a simple question will save you some frustration and $$.

BTW GRP is Gandini Racing Production
