The lowering I think is what really makes it standout. While these wheels are definitely nicer than the stock wheels I bet if you PS'd a lowered car with stock wheels it would look a lot better.

Now that is one option I would have selected if offered from the factory. They look great.

That I'm not sure...I'll find out when I get them. I'm guessing that they're maybe slightly heavier or the same. Maybe even lighter. The GT3 is after all supposed to be a "light" car compared to the Turbo.

Much, much better... For me, the weakest point of the Turbo has been the wheels. The TT w/the Rinspeed wheels (Fred's I think) or a TT w/RUF wheels look great, too. The GT3 wheels look good without looking OTT.

I'm not sure but the turbo wheel is forged and could be lighter than the GT3 wheel. I have no idea if the GT3 wheel is cast or forged.

GT3 wheels are cast. I imagine that the GT3 wheels must be fairly light despite that.
