Have owned this car for 5 years and not bought another set of rims for it yet which is highly unusual as I'm a wheel *****.
Casting around the net I've found these 305-Aeros by Jongbloed which I really quite like. Forged, 3 piece. Nice. The alternative is BBS LMs with gold centres which I love too. I took an image off the net and turn the colour off and photoshopped blue anodised centers on there. With these rims I believe there is a choice of anodising colour. Maybe painting them RS blue might look better but the anodising would be a different look. My car is a white 996 GT3 currently on standard rims.
I think the blue on the white cars is perfect. Not sure about the anodized blue, but the car just looks awesome. What I noticed was the center out mufflers on the factory 996 GT3 rear bumper cover. I have not seen this solution, but from the side it looks fine. Were there any other shots of this car from the rear by chance?
BTW, I'm also a fan of the Gold BBS wheels on white....I think the blue is just that much better though....
Thanks, there is 1 OK pic where you can see all 3 cutouuts. Looks good to me actually! Suprized. Has anyone done the centyer cutout? There must be a good template and measurements somewhere. The car looks sooooo Baddassss!
After seeing all these beautiful white cars with OEM wheels in people's avatars I'm going to cast a dissenting vote and say stick with the OEMs. I do like the wheels pictured here but IMO not more than the OEMs on the 6GT3. I'm also very biased as I just got mine refinished silver as the PO painted the spokes black . just my 2c. Or go refinish and go matching white!

Fair call. That said sometimes you just want a different look from time to time. I'd always keep the factory wheels (in fact I have 2 sets). The second set were white when I got them from the PO but that wasn't to my tastes. Soooo very early noughties. They are now powdercoated black which is also coming out of fashion so maybe next time the tyres come off I'll pick something else. I think a metallic mid grey would look good.
Thoughts on the rears being 6mm more aggressive (poke) and fronts having 10mm less strut clearance. This is compared to factory wheels. Will these offsets fit?
As I recall, I think Sharkwerks had a white/blue combo like this at some point, there was a 6.2 RS in the
paddock at RSR-V last weekend, looked great with the rivera blue wheels and decals...

I'm excited to try different colours on a 2nd set of OEM wheels once/if I get tired of the silver. Mid-grey is a great choice for white (I love it on my dark blue WRX STI). I'm very tempted to try gold on black. Would look great on white too
