Default Wheels for 997 RS

Hi Guys,

Would really appreciate some help. Am about to buy a set of wheels for street driving (already have a set for track) but am not sure if they fit 100%. Anyone that knows? Thanks!

FA:
9,0x20 offset 53 with 245/30R20
RA:
12,0x20 offset 50 with 325/25R20

Yup...the wheels look fantastic! Just slightly unsure if the offset etc... is a 100% fit.

There is only one kind of wheels I would put on a GT3 rather than the stock ones: the BBS LM. All others I would leave it to the GT2 or Turbo.

Carl: don't be sad. CJ is getting "the one". What about you. Anything in mind? your RS is stunning.

Matrox: what color is your car?

carl- orange, pccb. that's it. I think once I switch to bucket seats (996 not the carbon CGT ones) and 18" wheels, I should have one of the lighter "stock" cars. skipping on the xenons might save about 12kg from what I've heard

yeah I don't like chubby babes at all. lol.

oh the car??? yeah I'm beyond happy about it- goal number one is to not get arrested behind the wheel- an orange car isn't exactly subtle here in texas.

Congrats on the stripper CJ but I have to admit that your cobalt with red dev. stitching is gorgeous. When will you be getting her??

Zico thanks for the compliment. My RSA will be on a diet this winter and slowly transforming it into a real RS.

carl, both my gt3 and RS have arrived recently in port, and I should pick up the RS soon. if I had the $ I would probably keep them both, but if you have to only pick one...you know how that goes. maybe I can stay in touch with whoever buys my gt3 like an adopted child and the original parent, and snag it again some day.

I was thinking that the RS is orange, so maybe I can make a few OJ jokes- like a custom plate that says

SLASHR
or
LIKEOJ
or
PUMPKN
or
1RS4CJ
or RRRRRS

I'm insane. don't mind me

Once you'll start tracking the pumpkin, the cobalt will be "good O'l memories". What kind of bar will you be putting in with those GT3 seats?
