Somebody on another board posted that the GT2 rims were in fact forged and lighter than the rs rims (the rs rims being cast and actually heavier than the stockers).
White looks phenominal on a 997TT!! Nice car!!

 

I'll believe that when I hear more information. I find it hard to believe that Porsche would do that especially since they're of the same design as the RS wheels. I think that it's entirely possible that they're referring to the fact that Porsche had these wheels manufactured using a special casting procedure which makes them light/strong.

 

Jason, forged is forged, cast is cast. Forged is always stronger. I find it very plausable, the gt2 wheel needs to be able to handle 550hp, 600 ft lbs of tq in a track configuration. It would be very easy for porsche to have BBs make a forged GT2 rim, totally unique to the car. The gt2 has always had bigger rims( different sized/et/width/etc) than the std TT.

Cast will never be as strong as a forged wheel. I hope the GT2 gets a forged wheel. I think the reason the RS and GT3 get cast wheels, most people who track them seriously will be using a dedicated forged racing wheel. For DE, cast is fine.

 

Let's just wait and see what Porsche comes up with for the GT2 wheels. It really does appear that they're identical thus so far to the RS wheels. I await the specs with bated breath.

 

anymore pics?

 

Here's one more. No interior shots - mostly stock with a few leather upgrades (rear console, thick steering wheel).

 

White is the new silver!
