Default GT3 Wheels

Got the new wheels mounted today. The offsets were identical to the twists so the spacers work great. The second pic is to give those interested an idea of the width with the 14 mm spacers.

Love them.

They look great! Are they 996GT3 wheels or 997Gt3? Could they be the GT3 look wheels that came on some Turbo S's in 18 and turbo sizes? I have a set that came on my turbo S 996.

They are 18" 996 GT3 style wheels with the widebody offsets. Thanks for all the nice compliments. I think it turned out pretty well

Sorry but don't mean to be blunt but they don't suit the 996 Turbo body, l considered these my self but they are far too buzzy for the rear lower flute vents.

I probably won't be popular for this comment but that is my honest opinion.

I haven't heard any buzzing. Even with the top down.

I prefer the previous sig picture. I think "busy" was the word the
poster was looking for.

I used to think these wheel looked feenomminall. Steve, I guess I should be pissed at you because you were my inspiration for buying these god awful wheels in the first place....dammit! Anyone want to buy some really ugly wheels for a turbo?

The guy who designed the headlights on the 996 must have been the same guy that designed these wheels. I'm just sayin'.....
