So far my only outing with the car was a quick drive to run an errand in the rain. Will be getting full proper photoshoot done when timing allows.

Regarding the fitment, they are built to your specs so they can be as aggressive as you want.

If you want the lightest weight I believe the Magnesium wheel set runs around 7K.

The side shot looks like stock rims almost. Nice improvement

I got a quote for $8400 in magnesium, although that was a 21” rear.

Looks great.

I’m looking into a second set of wheels for my 991.2 GTS, and have a few questions.

Is the car lowered or stock pasm/spasm? Looks lowered in the photos.

What’re the widths and offsets, front and rear? With the stock tire size in the rear, I’m guessing they’re stock 12” wide. But what about the fronts?

I’ve been considering going wider front and rear than stock. But I’m a little worried about the impact on scrub radius and other suspension geometry by messing with non stock fitment.

Pricing could have changed, I started discussing pricing with Litespeed start of 2021, and ordered during summer. I would imagine 21" a little more expensive. Even for $8K, great price if you look at other market options for mag.

Car was factory equipped with SPASM but now lowered on TechArt springs.

I have 9.5/12.5 setup before this on 19", I decided to go with stock sizing on this set in terms of widths and tire sizes.

Litespeed wheel specs

20x9 et35
20x12 et48

If I was to order again I would have pushed out the front a few more mm's.

The extra negative camber I have over stock (lowered and mazed out factory camber) gives a bit of a tuck.

Had time to do these wheels some proper justice.

Look wayyy better than the 19BBS wheels you had! Don’t get me wrong they looked nice but these suit the car so much better. I don’t notice the front at all and think they look perfect.

I am still partial to the E88 BBS rims.

Why the switch to a 20" inch rim for track duty? What size tires are you running?

Ever want to sell the BBS rims let me know.

The BBS were on Rennlist for a month and they finally sold.

The car stays in "full time" track mode but its still used on a regular basis. The BBS wheels were just not practical for use in the north east being they are bare aluminum. While they looked awesome, they just werent for me. I do miss the fat meat ball tire look though.

I went back to 20's as I felt the 19" wheels looked a little small on the 991.

The beauty of these cars are that you can fit a modern wheel like these, and your old BBs wheels, two different styles, yet it works for the 911. Love the aggressive offsets, it’s perfect. Plus the ride height is spot on too. Very well done!
