Thank you!
I was heavily considering GT3 RS wheels until these arrived... I may still get a set so that I have a choice and can change it up every now and again when I get bored with it. LOL! GT3 RS wheels will give it a completely different look.

They look awfully similar to the Forgeline GA1R's

Could be?... Many well known wheel brands are manufactured in the same facility and marketed through different labels. Each company likely tweaks the design slightly so they can call it their own.

Signature wheels are fully forged and built to spec.

Signature Wheels may be the underdog here, but I have owned two sets of HRE P101s and I certainly appreciate their level of quality. I also trust that Signatures fit, finish and strength is every bit as solid as HRE, Anrky or some of the other well established brands!

THIS is my 3rd set of Signatures in 3 years + 4 sets purchased by some of my buddies on 3 different X5Ms, one M4 and one f10 M5 without a single issue! (Did I mention that I also track my M4 with SV302S Signatures?) I also buy direct from Signature, so there is no markup in them each time they pass through a vendors hands.

Back on topic....

I may be testing my own theory soon: I am trying to locate a set GT3 RS wheels and plan to try them out on my H&R lowered 991.1 Turbo S! I don't see any reason why they wouldn't work perfectly since my Signature rears are the EXACT same offset and the front offsets are 5mm less, meaning less aggressive fitment... I know the GT3 RS rears will work perfectly on my H&R lowered car; my only concern is the inner clearance of the GT3 RS front wheel.

GT3 RS wheels;
GT3 RS front: 9.5x20 ET50 (5mm more outter fender clearance than Signatures)
GT3 RS rear 12x21 ET48
(Recommended tire fitment for GT3 RS wheels on Turbo S):
front: 255/35/20 or 265/30/20
Rear: 325/25/21

Signature wheel fitment:
21x9.5 ET45 255/30/21 (+1 sizing and 5mm closer to fender than GT3 RS)
21x12.5 ET48 325/25/21 (exact spec for GT3 RS)
no rubbing whatsoever!

Advantages?

Better handling?
Fills wheel wells better?
Harsher ride?

One more thing - I can confirm that the 4mm offset difference in the front leaves just a couple of mm of space between the wheel and the strut. Im not convinced that the GT3RS wheels would work, even with a corrected tire size.

Note the GT3RS side skirts - its a 15min swap out with the OEM part easy to get from Suncoast.


Looks Awesome! I also did the GT3 RS side skirts and love them!
To your point; I'm a little concerned about the inner clearance on the front wheel myself. To run the GT3 RS front means that the wheel will be 5mm closer to the strut.... Not sure if I have that much room available... I hope to find out soon!

Looks great!

Do you have a 3/4 shot of the car with the front wheel straight?

Which GT3 fronts are these?

There are two options:
9x20 ET55 (GT3 std. front = GT3 RS winter spec)
or 9.5x20 ET 50 (GT3 RS spec)
