Anyone know if the GT3RS wheels will fit the TT without needing rear spacers? Do the GT3RS come with or without rear spacers? I have gotten different opinions and am considering a set for my TT. Want to know for sure before spending the money. Thanks.

The answer is ME

However for all you non-believers here is an array of other aftermarket wheels...

GP7's are $5200 retail. You can order them at PES-tuning.com

GT3RS wheels fit without spacers as they have the same offset as stock turbo wheels

Alex, great job on the thumbs!

Can you post the picture of your 997TT with the Carrera IIIs for reference? It's nice to have these top-tier wheels shown, but I find it equally helpful to see some of the other wheels that might find their way to track wheels or winter wheels (i.e. Carrera IIIs, Lobsters (thanks, Chris), etc.).

Noticed last week vs other makes the Michelins have such a cool looking side wall. It has a lip. And the tred's on the outside look high performance. The Pirelli's look like winter tires.

Alex,

The completeness of your thumbnails startled me! Great great job!
I would say most after-market wheels worth looking at are represented in this collection. Only 2 worthy wheels are not: Dymags and PES GP7.

Hey Gene -

Off topic question--are those decals easily removable?

Jeff the decals are std vinyl cut graphics. They peel right off just like the track numbers

Very cool.

I might need to get some with the AWE exhaust and GIAC that will be ordered soon.
