Default Anyone bought the 997 gt3 style wheels?

I'm debating putting them on my c4... They have them for nb 996 with 18x8 and 18x10... I love the way they look on the newer gt3's let me know if anyone has them or thoughts.

I like em, but prefer the look in 19's, which I have read come with C2S/4S , & Turbo offsets.

I have the 19" turbo rims - they look good on a C4S.

The ones on ebay sold by OEMwheelsplus are 19X 8.5, & 19 X 10, supposedly fit NB also. I think the offsets are 50F/60R.
Replica wheels, of course, so mainly for the bling factor. Put some inexpensive Hankooks, or Sumi HTR's, and you have a nice set of summer (or in the case of Cali, South Florida, etc) all season wheels.

re: turbo rims on my yellow C4S; There are some pretty wide spacers on the front about 3/4", none on the rears. IMO the spacers on the front are too wide. Fronts wheels ar 99736215605 ET 56, running Toyo 255/30 ZR 19s. Rears are 11.1x19 H2, ET 51, running 315/25 ZR 19s.

The tires nearly touch the sheet metal up front. Thanks for the compliments on the wheels. Seem to see these on ebay quite a lot.
