Has anyone been able to figure out whether you can get the Ruf wheels in centerlock for a GT3? I saw a picture on instagram (they even said they were forged) but nothing on Ruf’s website.

PS if anyone has 18in ruf wheels for a narrow body 993 let me know.

I'll take a RUF first because it was always a dream car and it's simply as bespoke as it can get plus their primary focus is performance..... so just add a Singer after. Last year in Geneva at the RUF showcase I asked about ordering one, specifically the reincarnated modern yellowbird- the new CTR. They emailed me all the info and details but.... well ummm it's 500k over my budget.

RUF! Huge respect for Singer, but RUF is where it's at as far as I am concerned (I am arguably biased... but still)

RUF is about performance, Singer is about the "art" of the car. It's similar to Koenigsegg and Pagani in their comparison.

Yes you can order the centerlocks for a GT3. Drop me an email at chris@rufautomobiles.com and I'll get you a proper quote.

When money is no object, you just can't stop buying them. either one works. Sucks when you have to choose but we are biased of course.

Ruf with williams engine and oem lights. Singers are FUGLY. Resto-mod my ****, the dls and singers in general look like the creation of a chav that has somewhat good taste. I do appreciate their engineering, but not their cars.

On the subject a ruf ctr2 and a almeras brothers 993 gt1 would get priority or even a 911 like the one that that bugatti engineer did. Or a safari.

I agree with this. But if money was no object I'd probably buy a 959.

Singer...but I'm biased...and for those questioning the performance aspect of the classic Singer... https://www.roadandtrack.com/car-cul...ned-by-singer/

I've also driven my former, and the demo car on LS and it was more racer than I'd have ever believed previously...even as an already owner. However, the want for a classic CTR yellow bird, and many variants of RUF are SUPER strong for me and Id LOVE to add one into the mix. However I don't think it would be the new ones...
