Replica GT3 wheels?

Does anyone make a replica GT3 wheel or will the GT3 wheel fit a narrow body Carrera?

I'm looking for a suitable wheel in regards to style that I can have painted Orange.

Why not buy OEM take offs, a standard GT3 (non RS) is a narrow body and will fit perfectly on your car. Talk to Wheel Enhancements for OEM.

As for replica's, be careful, as not all reps are rated to the same standard as the OEM wheels, and can easily break under certain conditions.

if you put on replica wheels your car it will explode (flames and everything) when you go over your first pothole.

just joking, but if you do a search you will find people here who religiously hate replicas. Not that i know anything about them, but i would guess that most are fine to use...then again if i were looking for cheep wheels i would go with forgestar or oz's.

Yeah I think OZ's may be the ticket seeing as 997 GT3 wheels are over $5k!

Damn Northvan...its almost like you are reading my mind. I'll see if someone closer to me sells them (I'm in Dubai and shipping would kill me).

Great suggestion on a wheel though.

OZ is Italian, I am sure they have dealers in the Europe, however sometimes goods are less expensive in North America then Europe.

Talk to Damon@tirerack.com he may be able to get a good deal on shipping to Dubai.
