Default GT3 Wheels

Are there any exact fitment wheels available for our cars yet?
By that I mean wheels having the correct offset etc.

I don't want to go the wheel spacer route to get the correct clearances.

Has anyone tried the BBS LM130 & LM132 HA's

The Fikse fitments are same width, the offset is very close.

I just purchased a set of Kineses K18r's they have an exact fitment for the GT3. I think I have the first set.

I am currently running Kinesis K28's on mine, and they are excact to within one 10th of a mm to the stock wheel offset.
I have blk powder coated centers with polished lip on silver car.
Go to Kinesismotorsport.com There is a couple of GT3's with diff. wheels. Pics of my car will be posted on the site in the next few weeks. -Great company!

Default Ron, Let me know before you buy anything

I'm in the market for a set of rims as well. Black centers , of course! Unicorn Motors is now selling a few different brands that may be of interest. Anyway , we could probably swing a better deal for two sets, as opposed to one.
Soon to be heard at the next Rennsport event, " Yellow GT3 run group to staging, five minutes to checkered".

Hi Mike,

So did you get your car yet and is it really a clone of mine
I have a love of BBS wheels but would be open to something of the same quality.
Bob R's OZ's are very cool but I don't like the idea of having to use spacers etc. I want something with exactly the same offsets.

What are Unicorn selling?

Merry Christmas

Default Ron, I would like to avoid the spacers as well

Bob's OZ Superlegera III s are really nice. I have a quote for a set of them( black centers) and also for a set of Enkei from Unicorn. I will check with Barry about the offset for the Enkei and the other lines they carry. Will get in touch with you when I have all info and prices.
Car should be arriving at my garage ( on a Flatbed! Ugh.) on Wednesday or Thursday. Dealer did the Bra. Yup, they're twins. Four yellow GT3 s at the next event, I can see Bob shaking his head already.

Not shaking my head - you guys can collect all the cops on the way to the track driving "hey look at me" yellow. The silver cars will slip by without notice

Hey Ron, I had nothing better to do with the car stored for the winter, so I ordered a set of Kinesis K28s. I can send you pics in a few weeks if you want. Kinesis was easy to deal with, and they have a number of wheels that are direct fit for the GT3.

Cheers,
Bruce

We'll let you be the rabbit then on the next blast up to Tremblant, and we will follow a respectable and respectful distance behind.

Can non-yellow GT3s join in the fun?

Yongster- Yes! It would be nice to see more UCR guys out at Tremblant. Botho is his usual elegant self with a dark blue GT3 (he being too mature to buy a yellow one). We'll have three day events every month starting in May and going through September. We expect to add additional dates at the new Calabogie track (an hour North of Ottawa) too.

As far as I know, there are no red GT3's in Rennsport. Last count I had:

Yellow - Ron, Mike, Ian and Paul
Silver - Emmanuel, Bob and Ted
White - Louise and Keith
Black - Bruce and David
Blue - Botho
Seal - Nick

That makes 13 of 57 in Canada. Not bad...and no red unless someone bought on that I don't know about.

By the way Ron, the only spacer needed for the OZ is a 5mm in front which I boought from Porsche (via gert) complete with the longer bolts. No big deal and the car looks great.

I have champions--beautiful, light, very strong, and factory offset with factory 5mm spacers all around. With dunlops, its an excellent track setup.

I'd love to come up too. Have heard great things about Tremblant and also a few interesting things about the owner, but it's a great area too, so worth a long weekend or a week to visit with the family. I've also seen the pictures of Calibogie and hope it's a go for this coming year. Looks amazing.

Ryce,

Which model of Champions do you have, and what are the sizes?
