Default Forgeline GA3R's

Category: Wheels & Tires
Price (no $ sign please): $2000
Private or Vendor Listing: Private Listing
Part fits (select ONLY those which apply): 997
Location (Region): SouthEast
Item Condition: Used

Up for sale is a used set of Forgeline GA3R's sizes 8.5x18 and 11.5x18. I purchased these used from another member and unfortunately he did not have the offsets, though he stated it required a 30mm spacer in the rear to fit his widebody 996. Knowing this, I figured they would fit on my NB 997. Sure enough they fit great. Flush, and no rubbing. The sale is for the wheels only. I'm located in Virginia, short drive outside of DC, but will be at NJMP next weekend. Asking $2,000. Sold my gt3 to move into a Cayman build.

-Adam

if these fit your car, you be a moron not to buy.
these are 4800 wheels. very strong, very light.
easy to rebuilt
forgeline is very responsive to customer needs.
i had 4 sets until BBS drug kicked in.
these are cheap. at $2000, buy them just to tie your dogs to them is worth it.

the wheels fit the car in the pic, so will fit all narrow body 997.
wheel is not optimal a bit on narrow side, but they are $2000. frainkly $2000 will not buy perfection. you want custom wheels cut for you, $6500 BBS fist me car to the T custom cut for my car. but at $2000, i am seriously thinking biying a car to fit the wheels.

btw to op. that'a a masters serie snap on tool box KRL 722 or 1022 in the pic? baller. just boght 4 ;-)
i put my wardrobe in them. i own no tools.

"fit" is a relative term when it comes to wheels. Would be nice to know the offset (and it's not very hard to figure out if the tires have been removed from the wheels...).

Thanks for the kind words and laughs john! I'm looking to dig up more pictures of the wheels on the car and will post those as well, but like I said in original post they sat flush with no rubbing on my narrow body 997 with factory spacer, so c2, c2s, 5 lug gt3's I know are in the clear. If someone knows if forgeline stamps offsets somewhere on wheel please inform me. Thanks guys, pm's responded to.

Forgeline doesn't stamp the wheels. I bought a set from a member and Forgeline was awesome in helping with anything when I called. Just give them a call and ask and they'll tell you.

If not, then just measure. Put two boxes on either side and put a tape measure through the center cap opening. Take the measurement from the point directly in the middle of the boxes to the backpad of the wheel and you have your offset

If you can't come to terms with your current buyer, please contact me. I'd be interested, as well.
