Did you but this from a dealer / consignor?
GMG air cleaner and exhaust?
If so, I think I know the previous owner, (but none of the car history).
And I think the wrong wheel ET is more of a GMG mistake (what a surprise), than the PO's, he was just trusting them, (error).

Enjoy!

go back to 19s

cheers

GMG didn't do the wheels on this. I have a set of OZs on order; back to OEM fitment. Also swapping out the Fabspeed intake for the stock airbox. Otherwise the car is great. Such a different beast from my 997 TT...

It took me a while to figure it out, but that's one small thing on the current gen GT3RS's that I don't favor cosmetically speaking. I think the wheels, in particular the back, look oversized for the general proportion of the car. Leaves me to wonder where these jumbo wheels end...

Not ending any time soon as the new GT2RS I think has [on the rear] the largest wheels of any production 911.

I saw that car at Phillips also.

Wondering how are those guys to deal with. I was looking at a cayenne turbo they had but needed up getting mine from Porsche Pre-owned.

I thought they were great. Alex Henry was my salesperson and knows Porsches pretty well (he has a GT4 himself).
