Default My new wheels finally arrived!

After a long wait, my new Forgeline FU3C wheels finally arrived! I had originally ordered in early February but apparently I was the first 991.2 GTS with PCCBs for Forgeline so when the first set came in April, they didn’t fit the fronts. Back to the design process and about a month later, my new ones arrived (and they fit this time!). The satin black finish is a little less matte than what I thought it would be (compared to my original GTS centerlocks) but I think they still work really well with the black GTS cues on the car. These are the first after market non-OEM wheels that I have ever bought. I am very happy with the results! I think they are a really sharp looking, modern interpretation of the classic Fuchs wheels.

Adrian at Glaswerks DMV was great to deal with. They previously did my full PPF and their customer service has been top notch.

I am not sure if I should hold on to my original GTS centerlocks or sell them.

Anyways, here are a few photos I took this weekend. Mercy, I love this car!

Looks great. I recommend you keep the originals. If you ever trade the car in they won't CPO the car with aftermarket wheels installed and you will get less for it. If you have no plans to ever trade it in that might change things.

Well done. I'm thinking of having my blades polished which will approximate this look although a bit more black in the combo. Yours are spectacular in my view!

Good Lord! Those look amazing.
I will contact Forgeline and hope they can do the same for my 991.1 GTS
I have been wanting to change up the look of my rims to match my silver Targa hoop.
