I just can't stand the new turbo wheels. Does anyone know if the 19" XRR or 19" GT3 wheels will fit? Thanks.

The 997 GT3RS should fit and will fill out the rear fenderwell better since these wheeels are 1" wider than the 997TT.

1" wider over the total width of the wheel. Same offset so about a 1/2" wider on the inside and outside!

Cool. The GT-3 wheels are, IMHO, so much nicer...

997GT3 wheels will also work, but will require a spacer of around 17mm.

anybody have a picture or photochop of a 997 Turbo with 997 GT3 wheels?

most people seem to agree (as do I) that Porsche kinda dropped the ball on the styling of the turbo, but hit one out of the park with the GT3.

and since a BIG part of the dissatisfaction with the turbo's look is the wheels, you'd think that slapping the GT3 wheels on the turbo would sharpen things up a bit, looks-wise. especially with an appropriate drop in ride height?

just my .02
