As crazy as it sounds, I like the BBS MTSP wheels like you have but not the FIRs.....
If I sell the FIRs I was probably going to get the those wheels in a custom black brushed finish.
Those wheels are not as thin and open so I like those.

I like the FIR, had a set on 991 RS and it looked great. But I do prefer MTSP, have them on 997 and now looking for a set for my 991 GT3

Bluehorse doesn't mess around. The 6 spokes are the magnesium BBS. RE-MTSP for 991.2 gt3 have 7 spokes.

I may be selling my set of BBS MTSP for 991 gt3. Mine are the satin white gold finish with pilot sport 4s tires.

I didnt realize the mags were different than the aluminum MTSP.
Yeah I dont think I want to spend the money for the mags. Very nice though!!

You have owned/own such tasteful cars. Amazing.

They're great wheels but I am biased! Good luck with your sale OP. Maybe it's a placebo effect but I think they do make a difference to the ride of the car.

This kind of comment always makes me laugh....
If we didnt care about how the wheels/car/paint color/etc looked just because we cant see it while driving then everybody would be fine having the same appearance on every car.
Its all a matter of personal preference. And tell me, do you never look at your GT3 admiringly because you love the look??
Sometimes I just go out in the garage to look at my cars. Sure, driving them is what brings the most enjoyment to me. But I like to enjoy how they look too...
Do you always turn off the lights when you are......?
