Wheels are individually numbered from production
#1 (with a 265 tire up front)
I chose to retain TPMS, so got these polished TPMS valve stems, as well as BBS valve caps to finish it off.
Weights are as follows:
9.0 (19.420 lbs)
9.5 (19.734 lbs)
12.0 narrow body (21.592 lbs)
12.0 wide body (22.092 lbs)
All wheels also have a knurled bead seat to prevent tire slippage.

Quick question, Jamie/Tye.
On my 08 GT3, if I go with stock/OEM tire widths on these, do I need/should I run spacers if I want the same outer wheel line-up with the fenders that I have on the stockers?
I want to buy Tikore Ti lugs, and they ask on ordering if I am running spacers or not...unclear with these new wheels.
Also, do you guys have recommendations for TPM sensors that don't fail...

TPM sensors I don't have a lot of experience as I don't run them on my car. Got tired of hearing the beep on track telling me I had an issue...

For the rears I removed the factory spacer as these are lower offset than the oem wheels, which means they sit out farther. Look at the pic I posted of the rear angle, u can see it's pretty much flush.
As for tpms check out tpms.com. I've been happy with theirs

FI-R is approx $10k
if u all can put out the money, jamie can get it done i am sure.
at 19" you want 9" front 10.5" or 11" rear.
do NOT RUN ANYTHING WIDER THAN 11", it may clear but the car will not turn.

I saw these exact forged wheels at SEMA in the BBS booth. They sell standard fitments for the GT4 and GT3. I forget the exact GT4 widths and offsets, but the GT3 details that I can remember were as follows:
9 ET50
9.5 ET42
12 ET61
12 ET(Widebody, but I forget the offset)
Some may be "custom" but I think that limited fitments can be had without too much effort.
9 ET50

12 ET61

Speaking of BBS at SEMA, the one wheel they had in the back that caught my attention and I was most excited about was the CH-R center lock. I've had a few of those sets over the years on different cars and they are durable, look great, and won't break the bank. Perfect track wheels! Only problem is that they aren't available in 19" size, only 20"...
Here's the CH-R on my old 997TT:
