I'm looking at a set of these now. Pretty rare to find in the turbo rear offsets as most are for NB cars. But these wheels w/ the wing really look good.

That is the hope. Got to say I was more than a little irritated on Friday when I found out I wasn't going to get the rubber until the new year, so I either buy something else, or it is going to be some months before I see them mounted.

Or even rarer, finding a set with GT2 specs. He says shamelessly tooting his own horn.

What's the size difference between the GT2 and Turbo offset "GT3 look" wheels?

I bought a 997.2 front differential to adapt to my car. I'm currently pursuing an electrical engineering degree from Google University to figure out how to control it.

Found a really cheap 2 piece GT2 rear wing on a local auction site. I can adjust the AOA with shims. I have no idea what the PO was thinking with tape glue residue around the edges and thick matte black paint.
Lots of sanding with 180 then 600, 2 coats of primer, 3 coats of paint and 3 coats of clear.
Now the painful task of waiting for the clear to cure.

I have the widebody GT3 wheels on mine painted gloss black - I love them. Lots of very sharp wheels on here but I do really like the OEM stuff.

That must look pretty good. It is the cost of OEM wheels that was the primary reason for looking and a different solution.

It appears the lid is from a Carerra so the fresh air scoop doesn't fit and it won't latch. I think the latches are different. And there no fasteners for the third brake light.
