Going to the track in 4 weeks, would like an extra set of wheels delivered at the Ring. Anyone got word from BBS yet?

BBS doesnt have the RS sizes slated anytime soon....

If you would like a set in an alternative brand I would be happy to go over some options.

Sure post away, I'm not the only one who is going to need a set of track wheels but was hoping to get some in Germany, it will take a while before my car gets Stateside..

why don't you just kick me in the ***** while you're at it......

After spending time talking to Mr. Finspeed, I really like what I hear and see. Plus, huge brake clearance options, and he already owns a 991 GT3, so he knows what fits. Not sure if they offer 21's, but I'd reach out to them. He's already got GT4 fitments in the works too, as in 18's

^^ Right back at you button pusher.

A GT4 on 18" Nitto's gets me looking for a GT4.

Be sure to let me know when it's been track proven because to me the new calipers are bigger (I don't mind swapping calipers) than the 997 GT3 calipers and they only had a hair between the barrel and the caliper (scratching the crap out of the wheel barrel and caliper top as it was, don't mind that either) with 18".

Regardless I'll take a Base GT4 in the spring.

my neighbor is an engineer at finspeed. definitely some quality work. custom offsets and race proven.

Daniel at Finspeed owns a 991 GT3, and told me his 18" F14 clears the calipers, which means they clear the GT4. He said it's tight, but as long as it clears, it's fine with me.

I think the 245-40-18 and 275-40-18 are going to be the current available 18" Nittos sizes that can be run, hopefully without any ABS issues.

Peter: I'd suggest Forgeline as an alternative. Same wheel a bunch of the Porsche GT America cars are running in IMSA GTD. Built specifically for GT3 center-lock, correct sizes available, motorsport tested, and you can spec it any color you want. This is the route I plan to go.

Well; I dunno about 18" on a GT3 but if you can test 18" on Nitto's and it works I bet he will sell a crap load of wheels.. Look forward to your tests!

With the BBS I was hoping to ship one pallet back to Florida with my stuff.
This is interesting for when the car gets stateside. But maybe they want to fly a set to Germany within 4 weeks...

To be clear, Finspeed said their 18" fronts would clear the GT3 steel brakes, not pccb, and an 18" will not work on the rear of the GT3 bc of the rear steering unit. They said they will have everything sorted shortly on the GT4. Their lead time is about 3 weeks.

Forgeline all the way for me too. We use them on the ST Caymans this year. I can say they take a lot of abuse from us. So far we have only had a couple of wheels bend but that was due to contact with another car or immovable object. They are the best set of wheels I have used on a racecar. Plus the guys who run Forgeline are heavily involved in the motorsports side of the business. They are fellow racers themselves who have been in the business for 30+ years making wheels. They get my business when the new RS arrives.

Forgeline all the way. I have them my GT3 and have a second set here as well and I will have them on my RS

Thanks!

Gold wheels on Mr Purple hmm.
