Volk Racing TE37 Time Attack
#3
Volk wheels have a reputation for being strong, lightweight track wheels. Unfortunately, to my knowledge they have not been available in the 12" width for the 997 GT3 and RS. It really doesn't make much sense to go to a narrower wheel on the rear, particularly when a lot of track addicts are trying to fit wider tires than stock.

Cool, you get a red rim and can say "time ataku!"
So are TE37 wheels good for track use? I am feeling lazy and those are the easiest for me to get.

I put the standard gunmetal TE37's on my GT3 (18"). They look better than expected and are much lighter than the OEM's (beyond the obvious size difference).
There was a thread here some time ago about these wheels being problematic in terms of the weights coming off. Sure enough they lasted less than 3 track days, I may have one weight left in one wheel, rest are gone.

They do make them in 19x12 specifically for the 997 GT3. I was going to get a set as I have had 2 other sets of volks on other cars and have been very pleased with them. However, they don't make the correct offsets for the rear to fit the RS and I decided not to use spacers or adaptors.

Saw it on 6speedonline forum:
According to Vividracing:
The fronts are 19x8.5 and rears are 19x12. The Volk stickers are removable. Wheels are 1 piece forged. Very strong and lightweight. Rears are about 23lbs and fronts about 19lbs. $2800 + shipping.
