Would love to know as well. Also curious if any suspension mods needed to be done in order for it to fit?

This should answer that question... shopping cart loaded, just getting ready to check out

Cool . . . but your black wheels look better . . .

BabyNSX

haha... The car will definitely look different . Looking for a difference between my track and street setup. I love both looks and feel they each give the car a unique personality.

I almost went with GB too but I do think it looks better on the coupe. We are wheel and brake twins. If you were local, I would get our cars together for a photo shoot.

Edit: I just realized you are local. What are the chances of that, like literally in the same tiny city. Cars and coffee maybe? Your inbox is full so I can't PM you.

Avera

Yes, aesthetics aside, I am assuming the Apex wheels are lighter? . . . which would theoretically be advantageous on the track.

This made me miss the looks of my 981 Spyder. I love the 718 BUT I think the 981 is a bit more classic.

MaddMike

A few lbs. lighter on each corner but also more PCCB clearance.

Here is a comparison I did between the OEM and VS-5RS wheels:

Porsche OEM Spyder/GT4 Apex VS-5RS

Front 23.2 lbs 19.5 lbs

Rear 25.6 21.3 lbs

Total 97.6 lbs 81.6 lbs

Delta---- -16 lbs

Also note that with the front wheels, the OEM wheels are 8.5" wide and the VS-5RS are 9" this should help reduce understeer and improve turn in.

Avera

Well, I am no tracker, but dumping 16 lbs at the wheels sounds like a real performance boost.

I did not know understeer was a problem with the GT4 on the track, but it makes sense that more rubber on the road would reduce it

Thank you. What tire sizes will you fit F/R?

BabyNSX

I'll stick with OE tire sizes (likely Sport Cup 2)

Westcoast

So these are destined for track use?

BabyNSX

Likely my street setup.

Westcoast

Interesting, I am doing it slightly different, after over 2 years of running the Cup style tire on the track and on the street, I am relegating them to track use only, I find that they are not great street tire. They work but really need some heat to work well and in the lower temperature are rough and a bit slippery and finally in the rain or standing water they don't instill confidence, actually kind of scary.

For the street (summer) I will be going with the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S, 245/35 up front and 295/30 out back.
