Unless you’re referring to Club Coupe (which I think is called Club Blue)

I cannot thank Adrian enough. He had many sleepless nights trying to get the 21" rear set up perfected. He was always available via phone, text, etc, and never abandoned the process.
Since we have perfected the 20/21 setup, I have ordered another set for the incoming Speedster. Stay tuned for the newer enhanced FU3C wheels.[/QUOTE]

Thankyou for trusting us with this! Can't wait for the new setup

no, the gt3 touring is Navy Blau. Meerblau, as referenced above, pertains to the targa, as described. Club Blau is the club coupe. It’s on my license plate.

That’s a gorgeous car

That Mercedes-spec 315/30/21 4S rear tire has made the gearing about 5% taller and rear ride height is up almost 3/4” (and corresponding rake).

Not sure if there is a better choice or not in that respect - I see that the 4S comes in a 325/25/21 that has a diameter much closer to stock (only 0.2” larger and the N-Spec 305 is about a 325 width for a non-N, so may be a good fit).

Gearing would be only off by 0.7%

Having seen them in person I can attest to the fact that it is a stunning setup.

Thanks. The factory service rep from PCNA was there to monitor the installation. He wasn’t concerned. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I think acceleration would be noticeably snappier with that 325/25/21 (and ride height and rake better too).

If you haven’t seen any problems with ABS, PSM, or TC then it’s not a big deal. But maybe something worth trying when it’s time for tires again.

thanks for the advice. We will look into that for the next set coming summer 2020.

Beautiful car and rims! GlasWerksDMV or OP, could you please give some details on how much the rims weigh compared to the stock rims on the GT3 Touring? I am considering rim options for my car and these certainly are in the running. Thanks!

thank you. They are slightly heavier than stock by a couple 0f lbs. for the speedster, we are using the carbon fiber barrels to reduce weight, which brings the 21" rear wheels to about 18#.

That is very light! 9” and 12” wide?
