Thanks! Mine are same as the OEM size for the GTS, 20” and are designed to fit my PCCBs.

They are available in 19, 20, and 21” in a variety of sizes.

I recently got this and I think the black and blue combo looks amazing.

The last thing I'd do when changing rims is "upgrading" to something that was an option on the car.
If you put on another set of stock wheels - it's not an upgrade. There's a chance that you'll see another car that looks exactly like yours.

With this mindset, I custom designed my own rim and worked with Litespeed Racing. They don't charge anything extra for a fully custom wheel. You can do a wider, more aggressive offset as well. I went with 20x9 front and 20x11.5 rears. I know I could have done 12" in the rear, but I would've run the same tire so I didn't feel it was necessary for the added weight of the 12" rim. Tires are PS4S, 255/35 front and 315/30 rears. A happy coincidence is they're the exact same sizes on the new GT3.
LMK if you have any questions. They're not as expensive as you think for the Litespeed wheels. I have a set for the wife's X3 as well. Fantastic quality for sure.

If you are interested in selling the sport techno wheels, I may be a customer. Currently have the 20" turbo wheels on my 2019 C2 and want wheels with less spokes. The suggestions here all look fantastic. Anyone have experience with HRE FF04? They look fantastic at a reasonable price.

Offsets for your car vs. the 2013 are different. They'll poke out quite a bit on your car.

Thank you for that info. On 2016 991.1 Carerra base, RWD? I bought the car a month ago and have quickly realized there is a lot of technical specs with these cars, which is great.

Prost und danke. I’m leaning toward Forgeline at the moment. Called their sales dept today and spoke with a gent named Kenny. Guy has his marbles in a row. They seem well regarded, with nice designs.

HRE FF104 on my TTS, dropped on Techart with 8mm ECS spacers all around. These look identical to the FF04's so should give you an idea.

Really liking this wheel. I didn't want to pay "first born" money for a set of rims and with these being stronger than 100% cast, I feel like they're a great wheel for the price.
