I'd watch out for some of those wheel dimensions. I found a few inconsistencies for the same wheel on different websites.
I went for the 320mm 997 RSR wheel. It was a big jump going from the stock wheel to 320mm but after a month or two, it feels great and definitely not too small.
BTW ... dont go for suede .. mine is starting to get greasy after a few months!
... luckily the OMP Superturismo is also available in leather although I just wish I'd bought the leather not suede.

The ride on mine is no where as firm as I thought it would be.
There are some pics on my site www.cagedcar.com

Hi Lee,
What hardware did you need to mount the SPG seats? Did you use standard Recaro mounts and runners?
I'm looking to fit a SPG in my RS (better fit for me than the standard seats), but I can't figure out what parts I'll need other than the seat itself.
Thanks,
tat

Hi Tat,
You will need the side mounts from Recaro or Southbound. The Southbound ones sit a little lower but I went with Recaro which is what the Cup spec RS had.
You will also need Recaro runners unless you want fixed position.
2 x Recaro SPG's
2 x Sidemounts
2 x Runners
Let me know if you need anymore help, I can get good prices on these.
Cheers
Lee

So I guess I need a set of Recaro runners. Will these bolt directly into the car without modification? The standard runners attach to the car with 3 M8 bolts each side - one at the front and two at the back.
Really appreciate your help!

Hi Lee - thanks! I'm only going to change one seat. I've bought a SPG and a pair of sidemounts, but I've found that the sidemounts won't fit on the standard runners - the bolt holes are in different places.

Hi Tat,
The Recaro runners will bolt to the car without any mods. Mine are fixed at 4 points to the car.
With the items I have listed you will be fine.
Let me know if you need any further info.
Cheers
