Impressive, The 997tt is growing on me!

 

Looks good!
Do you guys ever come across any issues or decline in drivability when changing wheel/tyre sizes on these sort of cars?

Jim Glickenhaus (man behind the P4/5) said on Ferrarichat said they encountered a number of issues with the traction control and whatnot when they changed wheel size from the default Enzo spec. It wouldn't surprise me if these same issues were encountered on these Porsche's, in fact I'd expect them to be more likely due to 4WD/AWD system. I'd imagine mismatched wheel/tyre sizes could put alot of strain on the drivetrain.

 

Not liking them pretty much...I'd prefer the ones you get for the 997 in your avatar!

 

What are the offsets? Any spacers? Thanks.

 

Thanks for all replies...sorry we don't give out our offsets, I computed them for use only with our wheels. No spacers of course, they are specially made for 997 wide fitment. We can make any of our same wheels for narrow with a 3" rear lip instead of a 4", and with a 305/25/20 rear tire instead.

I haven't noticed any driveability decline, but then again I haven't pushed it yet...

 

I didn't think offsets were proprietary - I've never heard of a wheel manufacturer not giving out offset information.

 

Most custom wheel companies (HRE included) usually do not reveal offsets because other custom wheel companies copy them. We do give them to the customer after a purchase has been made, but we ask them not to disclose the information publicly.

 

Stunning

 

Very Gothic Peter... Jury still out on this one for me..

 

Looks good. I like the first set better though

 

honestly bro the center finish looks really cheap and the whole samurai center look is not very flattering on a car so rich with motorsport history.

not to beat a dead horse, but looking at fikse's technipolish centers compared to these... it's almost a joke since both wheels probably cost around the same and even if the fikses were $1K more, u know where the extra dough is going with the fikses.

needs to be fitted with a more motorsport focused wheel (work, bbs, oz, fikse, champion, et al)

 

I also feel a motorsport focused wheel tends to suit the 997 better.

 

Love that lip.

 

admittingly not a lot of style work went into the design of the wheels. Might be OK for the track but hardly for the street.

 

that is sweeeeeeet, enjoy
