Default Too much time on my hands - wheels again

Being that my car got delayed again I’ve been playing with different wheels and revisited the FU3C. I think both look good. Any thoughts?

Highly subjective obv but the stock wheels look better to me. I'm waiting for BBS mags. It'll be a long wait. Other than that I'd go HRE. Always prefer forged, aluminum or magnesium.

The Fuchs knockoffs do look nice tho. No wrong decision here.

Love it, I think it suits the character of your spec quite well. Wish I could retrofit the 992 SC wheels to the touring, maybe I should look into it, though I doubt Porsche allows this.

Are they the same size and offset?

In my opinion, the stock wheels are fabulous, and look even better in person..l

Here’s a quick photoshop with the SC wheels (I’m not great at photoshop).

Damn, serious want... Hitting up my dealer next week, but even if technically its a viable option, I doubt Porsche would allow ordering parts of a limited edition car... Pity, I'd end up having the true sport classic 911 haha

I’m not sure if they would work with the offsets:

Gt3
Front: 9.5J x 20 ET46 255/35
Rear: 12J x 21 ET45 315/30

SC
Front: 9.5J x 20 ET44 255/35
Rear: 12J x 21 ET70 315/30

crossing my fingers the mags have the same split 6 spoke design as on the 991. Love those wheels. Still have my set. Only thing I didn’t sell. At some point I’ll try and mount them to see what they look like.

As expected, officially a no-go

From what I have been told the off sets are different and 991 wheels hit the calipers on the 992. I am not 100% sure of this info, since you have a set to try, please let me know the outcome. Thanks in advance, Art

The 992 GT3 wheels are the second best thing about the exterior.

Not sure what the exact wheel specs are on the new GT3 RS, but those in the Satin Indigo Blue option would look great on your build IMO!
