Default WTB: 6GT3 track wheels

hey all - just moved into a GT3 from a 993 and getting ready for some Mid-Ohio action (NNJR event in May). Before I call Tire Rack for new OZ's, I thought I would check to see if anyone is looking to unload their track wheels. Let me know. Cheers
...also, does anyone have photos of a Black GT3 with Gold OZs? the TR image doesn't really do them justice

Running GT2s for track, but wouldn't mind getting into some much lighter OZs myself.

well...due to the overwhelming response and the feeling that everyone is holding onto their equipment... looks like oz will be the choice. anyone know a good place to buy NT01s?

I just bought a set of OZ's from TireRack and NT-01s from Discoount Tire.

Happy with both.

Discount tire and get the OZ The only less expensive option is used OZ. Used CCW's are around $2k IF??? you can find any.

I have purchased my NT01s from Forgeline in the past. Highly recommended. You will have to call or email for specific pricing as they don't list the Nittos on their site.

Cheers

Yup, holding on to my OZ's and probably need to buy another set for back up. You will love them.

NTO1 instead of RA1 Toyo for R comp? Is that what works well? For a time there many liked that style of Toyo but perhaps that was for the 996 tt fitment.

i didn't know we could still get RA-1's for a GT3...thought the only Toyo option was 888's (which i've heard are not great). I preferred RA-1 on my 993, but they disappeared and NT01 became the go to option.

I have a set of Oz wheels from tirerack with offsets for a 997c4s, 19s, with MPSCs with 2 track days on them and TPMS sensors.
Not sure if they will work with the 996 but let me know if interested

Hey peer, not sure if they would fit or not, but i want to stay in the 18 inch family (costs over time). i have a friend who just picked up a 7.1GT3 and is also looking for wheels + tires. i'll hit him up to see if he's interested. thanks for posting.
