Default CL wheels for 997.2 GT3

Who makes a good aftermarket CL wheel? Not OZ; looking for something more than a simple spoke design. For street and track.

Those are by Vorsteiner. Shoot me a PM and I can help you source a set from them.

I have a custom set of 1552 Wheels. Three piece, very light and strong. Had the centers painted to match GT Silver. If you'd like a set let me know, my friend works there and I can help you source a set.

Cheers

Those are the Vorsteiner VCS-001. The are only made in 20" & 21" sizing which may not be suitable for your 997 GT3. I would recommend the BBS motorsport options above or the HRE R101's as well. Send me over a PM and I can help you further with all the possible choices.

We have plenty of wheels to choose from but for street/track I'd certainly say the R101 is the way to go. If that doesn't float your boat though, we've got plenty of other styles that'll be perfect for track or street use.

Here's a couple of 997 GT3's we've done with R101 Wheels - 18" Shown below in Tajima Blue (yes we can make these centerlock, this particular car was a 5-lug) - yes we can make these in 19" as well.








If that doesn't do it, I've got plenty of other suggestions, that's just my top pick in my opinion.

Dont these wheels cost an arm and a leg? What about those made in taiwan but still lightweight and forged ones (i.e signature wheels, forged, 19”, weighs 19-20 lbs but cost is $3500 for a set).

What's an arm and a leg run on the black market these day?

If you're comfortable purchasing wheels made in China then of course that's your prerogative. Factually they will not be as durable or lightweight as some of the options mentioned here.

Going back to this thread to update. Decided on forged wheels from Vorsteiner. They also sourced the tires. Just shipped and should get them next week.

Those look great Runner, and I've had friends running Vorsteiners for years on other platforms with great success. I'm sure you'll get years of enjoyment from them!

Thanks Steve! I'm excited to get them and install on the GT3. I believe this wheel design will compliment the GT3 well. I'll send pics!

Wheels look great, looks like you did the cup fenders or flares at least? Car looks great.
