Yes and no. Great choice in wheel no doubt but believe on a base 997 The car looks like it needs more. Such wheels imo look best on modded car with some aero adds or factory aero car.
I really like the GT3 997.2 wheels as well as the champion wheels. I also like a lot of the split 5 spoke wheels, but so many of them at the $1000-1200 price point are made in asia and I have had bad luck regarding bends on those wheels in the past. Here is what I ended up with. Sort of a GT3 997.2 and Champion hybrid (the center cap does come off and is made to run that way as well, with a slightly differnt "look", more like the Champion wheels. If you look really close you can see my Lobsters in the car. LOL. OZ with 15/7mm spacers
Pete, what springs are you running. I didn't think I needed to lower my car, then I went to Cars and Coffee and see all the GT3s there and makes my car look like a 4x4. The front looks fine to me, but the rear needs to go down .4-5". Anyone know what springs would do that? (seems like maybe Eibachs?). I do NOT want a slammed look.

I was about to call out your bs having spacers with CLs but then realized those are the CL caps for 5 lug wheels. So hard to tell. Very neat and well executed product they made there.

I'm running Bilstein B16 Damptronics but have a Cargraphic AirLift on the front which adds just a bit of body height, so the spring perches on the front are all the way down and then the rears are adjusted accordingly to create 1 degree of rake from rear to front, then all 4 corners are tweaked from there for proper corner balance with my 200 lbs in the driver's seat. Car also has all the RSS suspension bits and the TPC DSC module.
