Love them.
You know, I never was a huge fan of the GT3 wheels, but they look great on your car. Well done!

I finally got round to getting some rubber on my GT3 rims

I think they match the TT perfectly.

Gents,

Those cars look hideous with those wheels. Those black ones would look even worse on my SY car. I think you should just give them to me to prove it!

Personally, I think they look excellent. My TTS came with them, but they were sold for some 19s at some point. I'd like to get a set myself.

I found a set locally that I'm thinking about buying and painting orange to put on my seal gray 996TT.

What are these wheels worth?

Depending on condition anywhere between 2000 and 2500 would be about right.

You have to make sure they have the Widebody offsets. Thats the peoblem. Standard GT3 wheels won't work on a TT

Yer I paid $2000 for mine from a follow Rennlister, $400 for a refurb and respray.

I'm glad I went with black cos it takes away the buzziness???

So what you're saying is you don't like how understated they are and want to see what they look like on a Speed Yellow car?

Aye, that it does... A bit... The spoiler is no longer black, but the theme works for me.
