Can you please tell me where I can get those two badges for the back of my engine cover like you have please ?

The 70 PORSCHE one and the MARTINI one
Hi Robbie- I'm pretty sure I found the 70th badge right here in the parts forum last year. The Martini one was an eBay find I believe. Sorry I'm not much help here. It's been a while.

No worries lol, I wish they were cheaper. Just not a lot of GT4 owners getting rid of their wheels. I figured if the market price stays around $3,500, I might as well just buy aftermarket forged wheels instead.

Yeah. I hear ya. I have a set of BC Forged KL11 in mind.

But I’m also in no rush for wheels yet.

They’re just called 991 GT style wheels.

Correct - they are the same wheels as OPs - ordered from China from likely the same seller. They are definitely lighter than my OEM Carrera Classics.

Thanks @Alec Syme for sharing your experience!

Mine aren’t from China. They’re forged in Canada and both lighter and stronger than the original wheels.

[QUOTE=ZerOG;16561292]Mine aren’t from China. They’re forged in Canada and both lighter and stronger than

I do not recall once mentioning you in my post, or ask you where your wheels were made etc. @ZerOG. And I am definitely not comparing my china made wheels to your Canadian made.

For everyone else, and just to clarify - my wheels are the same as @Alec Syme, and so far I have had a good experience with them. The fitment is on point for my narrow body 991.1 C2 base with offsets/sizes 8.5 x 20 ET46 up front and ET56 11 x 20 ET56 for the rear.

This may be helpful to anyone else interested in purchasing GT3/GT4 style wheels for their 911. I paid $2k USD, which includes shipping. Customer service was great too - a bit of a language barrier, but Brooksmoto S Wheels (the vendor) came through and delivered as promised and advertised.

Once again, thank you @Alec Syme for sharing your experience along with pictures - really helped me in my decision making process.

Alec Syme and S26singh can you share the company/seller in China? Price/quality looks great for a set of GT3 style wheels. I drive a 991.2 GTS Cab around town and have no intentions of tracking the car so the quality should be fine/ok.
Much appreciated

The company/seller’s name is “Brooksmoto S Wheels”. They sell their product via Ebay; here is an example of their product: https://www.ebay.com/itm/20-STAGGERE...MAAOSwC9hcSCmo

I took @Alec Syme ‘s advice and contacted them directly via whatsapp using their listed number +1(510)241-5459. I offered $2k for the wheels including delivery, and they honoured it. They accept payment through paypal.

If you have a 991.2 GTS you will likely need center lock wheels, and I am sure they either have those in stock or can make a custom order for you. I recommend you contact them directly for your inquiry.

I ordered my wheels on March 30th, and they arrived on April 13th. They use UPS.

I hope this helps!

Bumping an old thread

S26Singh,
Can you provide an update on how well the wheels held up over the summer? Still going strong? Any issues?

Thinking of buying a set

Thanks
