Agreed! They look just like GT3 wheels, which I thought wouldn't fit regular 992s?

EDIT: I saw on his for sale page that they are "992 G3 [sic] Replica wheels with center lock center cover." More info would be great!

I appreciate that sir. Unfortunately, I'm a knuckle-dragging Neanderthal and if I can't fix something with a hammer I'm in trouble. With my luck I'd break something if I tried doing it myself. And I'm sure not going to start working on having the confidence to do things myself on a $200K car...lol. I learned that lesson the hard way in the past. Better to let the professionals do their thing in my case. You want to know something about firearms, washing cars, driving, investing, need someone in just about any field, I'm your guy. Making repairs or the like....not so much. I envy all the DIY kind of people and wish I had those talents. But thank you anyway; I'm aware of the installation videos and will be sure to pass them on as needed.

A wise (wo)/man knows his/her limits. If you're up here I'll install it for you and we can breakdown my SCAR17 etc. when done - bring the beer. GL

Saw these GT3 replica wheels made for 5 lug bolt patterns. Not bad at $1,125 for 21" and $1,000 for 20" ($4,250 for the set). Says they're forged but who knows:

Ugh.........wish I'd known about those before I ordered HREs for my centerlock'd GTS. Though I'm pretty pumped about my HREs, they're more than double that price. And in my opinion, GT3 wheels are the best looking wheels I've seen on the 992.

Hi Tifoso,

They are forged wheels in satin black that look exactly like a GT3 wheels but with 5 lugs and the center lock cover to hide them. They are amazing and they get a lot of attention in car shows and so on. Best

Very kind. If I ever find myself in Alaska you're my first stop with beer in hand!

I suppose the center lock cover will not work with other rims... just for those who may want to pimp their ride...

More angles of the wheels with spacers? Do you have a link to the spacer kit?

You won't be disappointed when your HRE's arrive and you get to see and feel the quality of them. These are not things that you can get a sense of through photos alone. You'll also never have to worry about their durability knowing that they were made here in the USA with heavy engineering from one of the best engineering teams in the industry.

I'll post early next week with pictures. We're going to lower the car too so we can show it at stock height and lowered (before/after). We spent weeks trying every combination (we 3D print spacers for every size) to come up with the best OEM+/flush fitment. We haven't released them yet but will be in the next few weeks. I'll circle back with photos shortly.

If you buy wheels with the proper offsets do you still need spacers?
