I don't know why but they don't really do it for me. There's a lot to be said for the turbo twists They're sorta traditional I guess and do look good on the car. Those wheels, well they are just "ordinary" and don't really remind me of Porsche. They could come on an STi..

PS Let's hope they NEVER again bring back the phone dial wheels

 

IMHO... The GT3 style wheel is very much a traditional wheel style from Posche. Sort of a modern version of the Fuchs alloys, though you really have to see them direct from the side to appreciate. But I do agree with you 100% on the phone dials...

 

I like it.

 

me too......!

I like it also, but shouldn't the wheels on the tt be the GT2 12" rather than the GT3 10". Correct me if I am wrong. . .

 

Yes the GT3 style wheels are an option for the Turbo, actually a Turbo this year at the NY Auto Show had them on it, they IMO are very much in resemblance to the Fuch design and this new wheel is my favorite Porsche wheel to date, excellent design.

Ron, the GT3 is wearing an 11" wheel in the rear not a 10"

 

At first I didn't like the wheels but they grew on me and now I love them.

 

dr. jim on this board ordered his 04 coupe with these...he took delivery a few dyas ago

 

i saw a tt cab in blue with the gt3 wheels on it at pepe porsche in westchester,and it looked great!!!!

 

that looiks HOT!

 

Dr. JIm got a new TT and did not tell us !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What? Hwat happened to the RedDevil ? Jim ????

 

The new turbo wheels (ala the '04 GT2/3 style) are the exact width and offset as the traditional Porsche 5-spoker -- 8"et50 front and 11"et45 rear. You can fit GT2-sized wheels on the Turbo and then they would be: 8.5"et40 and 12"et45.

I like them also......

 

Ah sod it then. I changed my mind. I saw a GT3 today at Carlsen and looked at the wheel. They grew on me....
