I have on one of my cars. It makes it so easy to clean. I'd do it again.

Did not do ceramic coating over PPF but did "glaze" the white wheels on a new Targa (matches exterior color). Far less brake dust take up and 4x easier to clean. Also coated the exterior of the brake calipers.

If you have white wheels (not recommended for GT3's....I have black ones on my 2018), ceramic coating is a must. Probably also works wonders on the stock silver rims too.

Doesn't the ceramic coating affect the "self healing" properties of the PPF?

Not sure as I've never really needed it to self heal. I just love how easy it is to clean.

Gt2 RS is finally home - despite looks / power etc. - Sound is really what to me defines the experience - memories of 935's and the sound of Turbo's...

I cannot confirm one way or the other on the RS, but for 991.2 GT3:

Stock 991.2 GT3 Center lock wheel:

23.2 lbs front, 27 lbs rear

HRE 101 LW (equivalents size)

17.2 lbs front, 20.3 lbs rear (advertised)

= 12 lbs savings for front set
= 13.4 lb savings for rear set
________
= 25.4lbs total unsprung weight savings
