Default Wheels for 997.2 GTS w/ Centerlock

Hi Guys,
I'm looking for a complete set (front and rear) of wheels for my 997.2 GTS, with Centerlock. Options in 19s or 20s are welcome, with 8.5 for the front, and 11 for the rears. Please PM me.
Cheers,
T.

Are you looking for the stock wheels? Silver or black?

I'm quite flexible with color, finish and/or design. Black or Silver, OEM or very good aftermarket (forget or not). But wheels have to be for GTS, not for GT3 because 12s in the rear is too big. If the wheels have tires, and center wheel lock nuts, I will be considering them as well.

Important: My car has OEM Factory PCCB...wondering if the rotors and calipers have different size compared with the steel ones.

About a week or two ago, there was post by a fellow who wanted to sell a set of these wheels in silver. I book-marked it but the entire post, with thread, has disappeared and not sure why…… Anyway, good luck!

Hi Rick,
Yes, I saw that post as well but as you said, now it's gone. My car is quite similar to yours (GTS White, Aerokit, PCCB + Asia Cup kit: red wheels, mirrors, glossy black interior molding, etc.). The reason why I'm looking for a new set of rims is just because the red wheels: They are quite interesting for Porsche collectors and show-rooms, but not the best to flying under the radar.
Anyway, thanks for your hint.

Thanks for your answer. Are 19s? What do you have in the front? Finally what tires sizes? The reason why I'm asking is because there are a some opportunities with GT3 wheels that I can take, but they are 12 in the rear.

If you're asking me, yes, 19" and I have 9" up front. For tires, when I bought the car it had 325's rear and 245's front. Both fit just fine with no rubbing but the 325's looked a bit bulky to me so when they wore out I went to 305. Also went to 235's up front for the same reason. Like golfnut said, 12" is a good fit for WB 997's. In fact they may be a better fit for your WB GTS than for the NB GT3 they come from.

Thanks so much for your answer, definitely I will be considering 10 for the front and 12 for the rear. About the bulky look: I don't think so...I really like that wheel set.

Wondering if someone tried 20 inches...?
