I am trying to find pictures of a 997TT preferably silver or GT silver with those wheels on it and i would like feedback about how well they do and some more information such as weight and pricing.

I had a GTS set on our 997 C4S in 20" which is the same setup as the turbo (but car was black).....very nice wheels, great quality, and not as heavy as everyone thinks they are.

We are also the dealer for TX, so I would love to help you since you are somewhat local.

See the pics below....ah I miss that car!

If weight is a primary concern then here is the lightweight version of that wheel
21 lbs vs. 27 lbs.

If I am not mistaken, the HRE P40 20" weighs about 26 lbs in the rear 20x12. The TechArts are 27. I don't think its THAT big of a difference to be called "tanks".

The TechArt Formula 1 wheels are made by BBS...so they are good quality and relatively light considering the design and the fact that they are cast.
