Out doing what I love most. All of the tracks are closed due to CV-19. Might be awhile before I get to do this again. Time for a few more mods.

I believe the GT3 wheels are

20x9 ET55
20X12 ET47

So the front sink in 4MM per side which is noticeable to me. And the rear is extremely aggressive. Id be skinny up front and very wide in the back. Thats why Im looking at the PGT's.

Here is an example. The rears look fine. Yet other wheels with same wheel size and offset poke out. So I dont know what to really think. But the fronts are sunk in big time to me in these pictures. I would prefer to have equal spacing outwards.

I finally got my Rotiform PGT in. Just cross posting here as well, as there were parties interested in these wheels earlier.
Specs:
Satin Black
20x9 ET45
20x12 ET52
OEM tires and suspension.

This looks very good. Amazing wheel option for any Porsche owner who likes the design of the factory GT3 wheels. I believe Rotiform even photographed your set to add this image to the PGT section on their website:

They look great. A lot better offset. How much are they? Would they do a 20 x 9.5 and 20 x 12.5. I was considering RS front but don’t want 21 on rear as little choice for track tyres.

Thanks! Agree, offset is damn near spot on. Fronts perfect, maybe keep rears tucked in a little more. Well, as for now, yet to be determined. I was not supplied the centerlock spacer cones, so my centerlock bottomed out before tightening wheel. Called them and they overnight them. Put them on and thought all was well and that all4 would be the same, but that was not the case. Did not pay attention that there was still play in the rear, so went for a drive, and car vibrated and wandered. Another call has now went out, more pissed this time, not sure how they can't get a custom wheel right from the factory, or send me the correct parts! Anyway, now waiting even more days to get the correct rear spacer cone. As far as 9.5 and 12.5- You could always call a distributor and see. I bought from TAG motorsports, as wheels boutique couldn't get close to their price. One piece of info, monoblock will not work with PCCB, you will need to have a slightly different design with the two piece. (Rivots will be shown behind outer face)

Rotiform does offer a 20"x9.5" monoblock size. For the rear they only offer 20"x12" or 20"x13". A 13" wide rear wheel will fit on the GT3RS without rubbing or modifications needed.

@kj71109 We are sorry to hear about your troubles. Please don't allow this to be a reflection on Rotiform. We have never heard of having to use a centerlock spacer cone for any of the Rotiform centerlock wheels that we have ordered for our customers. Rotiform builds the wheels based on the information that is provided by the vendor. This may be a case of incorrect information being exchanged during that step of the process.

Not to drag this on any further, but I will hopefully find out what happened. Not sure how my vendor can misrepresent the specs, when it was sent via email basically in black and white with exactly my sizes and ET I wanted for my exact car.

Rotiform asked us (the Vendor) after the fact (when asked why the wheels did not fit properly in the first place) "Was the centerlocking spacer supplied with these? They MUST be used with the supplied spacer between the centerlock nut and the wheel. "
So it appears that Rotifom is in fact utilizing these for some reason now. That said, that has nothing to do with what we as a vendor, relayed to them for the wheel specs.

Are there any downsides to using a centerlocking spacer?

The spacer is to make up for the different angles of the OEM nut and the 'face' of the Rotiform wheel correct?

The problem above would be similar to using a lugnut with a cone face versus a ball correct?

Are the spacers typically included in the purchase of a wheel?

According to Rotiform, no downsides. These are in fact included with the purchase, just were not supplied at the time for some reason (guessing due to light staff etc. just missing it in this hectic time.)

Thanks. 13’s would have been great as well. I track a lot. I have aggressive negative camber. So the tops of the wheels look tucked.

Unfortunately, spacers are a deal breaker for me. The stresses of being sideways at over 200km/hr, i don’t need to worry if the wheels are located properly.

I’ll wait and get something like this.

Just out of storage but no new pictures yet. Here's one from last summer while I await an oil change and some fair weather. If I could photoshop out the freshly washed rusty rotors and open garage, I would.

Took mine out for a quick spin today to charge the battery and get gas. Endless driving in NorCal but it’s been parked up for weeks itching for the cobwebs to be blown off.
