Cool Arctic Silver 997tt on Breyton GTS-R wheels

This is my new to me 07 turbo. So far, it has GMG springs and sways (great mod) and AWE gen 1 exhaust. No software planned since the car is fast and I track the car (already have done one event).

I just added Breyton GTS-R wheels from tirerack wrapped in OEM size Bridgestone RE11 tires. These are forged wheels that weigh a little less than stock. The specs on the wheels are 19x8.5 / 19x12. The offsets are not that aggressive, and suit my style well and especially are fitting for tracking the car since aggressive offsets can cause rubbing and other issues.

Anyway, below are the pics. Im really happy with the way they turned out. Car feels great with the new wheels and tires, improvement in handling and steering even on the street, cant wait for track.

And yes, I know the front bumper paint job sucks (from prior owner), working on getting it resprayed

Love the wheels.
For me 12 in the back is a must. I have BBS now but these look even better.
Very nice !

thanks everyone

didn't expect this much positive feedback. I really like them since they remind me of my old BMW competition package wheels on my last car.

the 12 inch wheels in the back are a little stretched on the 305s, but in my experience a little stretch helps sidewall stability and cornering, so no worries there.

they are lightweight too, with fronts weighing 17.3 and rears weighing around 21 lbs.

im really liking the way the car feels on re11s vs the old beat up ps2. I cant wait to get it on the track. the car was badass on the ps2, will be incredible on a new set of re11! on that note, it blew my mind how much better this car was on track than my bmw M car, and this car was on beat up ps2 and stock brake pads. next event with pfc 08 and these wheels / tires should be epic! ill find out in a couple weeks!

I really like those wheels, if u can use an OEM centercap consider the turbo script ones, about 124$.
The car an arctic is stunning, nicely done!
