Put some new lighter weight wheels on my GT3 and a new lip
I've owned my GT3 for about a year and a month now and there's two things I always wanted to do but never got a chance to do it due to my crazy schedule. 1. My front lip has been through hell and back and needed a replacement (or 2 or 3)
2. I wanted to change up my wheels with something that looks a little more aggressive then my factory wheels and I wanted to keep the same tires so the same dimensions where pretty much what I was looking for
These are Vorsteiner VFF101. 19x8.5 w 45 offset and 19x11 with 48 offset. Left the rear factory spacer on. No rubbing. I just did an hour in the canyons.

I have never thought that Porsche always hits a home run with their wheel designs, and the GT3 OEM rims remind me of a flower. Your new wheels look so much better.
The steering feel is more responsive when I was in the canyons and in acceleration i can definitely feel a difference. I'm going to spend more time driving up in the mountains this weekend to see how it functions but from the hour I spent earlier today in the canyons, I like how it feels.
the more bumpy the road is, the more you will note a difference, as the wheel will follow the road surface a bit better. Also, there will likely be more a more noticeable feel in braking response than in acceleration, as the effect of less rotating momentum is spread out over a shorter time interval than in acceleration.
But then what could I know, as I took college physics twice.
