I had them on my turbo too. Nice but extremely heavy and you really felt it on the road. Sold them for ultra light 20" wheels.
To me offset was perfect though. Had even room to go wider.
It's my understanding from the information provided that these are even lighter than the factory weights, and are available in two different off-sets.
SIZES & WEIGHTS: FRONT 19X8.5 (ET. 53) 22-LBS. REAR 19X12 (ET. 51 OR 67) 28 OR 27-LBS
The offset is perfect. (Actually, you could install the factoy rear 997RS spacer for a flush fit).
The wheels for road and track were good enough for my RS and therefore good enough for my daily driver turbo.
Yes, these are fitted for the factory set-ups both narrow and wide body applications using the stock 51 and 67 et. the only thing that changes is using the 12" wide vs. most of the stock 11" or 11.5" wide depending on the applications.
Feel free to call me if you have questions, just remember these are a new items and have not become a stocking item yet, so lead time is approximately 3-4 weeks at this time.
Thank you for your interest, remember we will offer a small deal for the first Rennlist buyer, see the OP for details.
As a point of reference by BBS FI 19" wheels weigh 16lbs front and19 rear
19 x 8.75 yes off sizing this is what BBS determined as appropriate for the widebody 997
19 x 12 rears
Super lightweight bbs forging technology
Yes, those are definitely a light wheel, lighter than all factory genuine factory wheels for that matter, I'm sure they also cost at least twice as much as these wheels without much benefit for the driver who uses them for regular road use IMO.
Can you tell me what finishes are offered on your reproduction wheels?
Factory Style Silver and Gloss Black are the only two finishes available right out of the box, everything else can be customized if you want something different.
Both your cars look awesome with those wheels but I agree on your reasoning for moving on.
Surgeon your RS184s look great, did you get them from john sellinger?
184s are my favorites, super strong super light. I bought mine from Al911. 19/21lbs 9/12 f/r in comparison. I think mine ( gt3 rs) seemed to stick out too much bc of the stock RD ht, nice but just too heavy for me.
ah, gotcha. those are great wheels. look great, strong & light.
what do you mean by "RD ht"? not sure what that's referring to.
the GT3RS wheels look great as well on 997TT's imo, albeit heavier for sure. the remark about them being heavier to be tougher/last the life of the car was interesting as well.
I have the GT3RS CL's on my 997.2 as a second set -- they fit just fine. If there is a difference its only a few mm's.
I bought a set BNIB from a dude in Texas for $3800. I looked at other CL options at the time and they were way more expensive

I'm sorry to tell you this, but those wheels are for the narrow body GT3, not the wide body GT3RS. The rear offsets are incorrect for a wide body car. They are 19x12et53 on the GT3. The RS wheels as a comparison are 19x12et48. So yours are tucked in by 15mm in the rear. Also looks like you are running the stock GT3-sized tires which are 305/30/19. You can put a 325/30/19 tire in the rear and that will help a little.
I hope so... I just purchased a set. My only concern is the tire size. I currently have the 235/305 set up waiting to be installed, but I know others have bumped up to the 245/325.
can you run 245/325 without blowing up the front diff?
would like to run these sizes, especially as the rear is an inch wider, but concerned about the front diff. if there was an easy way to go RWD i'd be less concerned but i can't seem to find a definitive how-to guide on that either.
