Pretending I'm an idiot, what car is this fitment for? The GT4/Spyder, or the GTS?

thx

This image suggests there is enough contrast to make the calipers pop (for me anyway), not sure anyone has this finish installed on a SB car yet... While this is tempting... your choice still looks fantastic!!

Actually, the size quoted fits all 3 models.

Pretty sure it works for all of them but the size and offset is closest to the GT4/Spyder.

Depending on your goal I would definitely talk to Apex if you are interested in these wheels as they have other sizes available for the front.

Here is a link to that thread, loads of discussion and pictures too, it is well worth the read! APEX Wheels | New Forged Sprint™ Line - Engineered for Your 718 GT4/Spyder - Rennlist - Porsche Discussion Forums

350 miles so far. Can’t get enough of this color in different lighting.

Alright, I love this car and went for a drive this afternoon instead of working. I have the Apex with summer tires mounted and I have to admit that they can be a bit scary in 50 degrees when pushed. I'll put the OEM's with the all seasons back on this weekend.

But first, some pictures.

I don't actually own a Spyder, I just have a model .

Actually, my phone camera was on "portrait" mode and I didn't realize it. I kept it because I thought it looked pretty cool.
