Great color. What are the offsets? Can they customize offsets or do they come at some set offsets?

All Forgeline wheels are customized to begin with so you specify the offset you want. I have to get back to you with the offsets on mine if you want to use that as a reference.

SW- if you could locate that it might help me at some point, yeah. I'd like to have a visual cue:reference since I do very much like the looks of yours. That's the color is get for sure.

Another ?: tubi vs. sharkwerks

Seen online that some find tubi too "unporsche". I see you've done both before. With the sport exhaust on the GTS, any need for more sound beyond a SW center bypass?

Fronts are 19/9 with 50 offset, rears are 19/12 with 46 offset.

Not sure if it's constructive to make a direct comparison between the Tubi on my .2 C4S and the PSE/SW setup on the GTS. The GTS has bigger diameter headers than the 997 S so it sounds a little different to begin with. That said, to me the Tubi which comes with its own center bypass pipes had a slightly higher pitched sound. I liked it a lot but I think I prefer the deeper grunt with the PSE/SW.

tubi vs. PSE/SW -
good to know. i will likely go SW center bypass only (as recommended by SW).

thx for the offset info, too. big help.

cheers.

Center Lock GT3 Wheels

Just wanted to know if the 2010 - 2011 997.2 GT3 center lock wheels will fit on the 2011 and/or the 2012 GTS with Center Lock wheels.

The Forgelines look great.

The offsets for the rears will be different. The 997 GT3 is narrow-body while the GTS is wide-body. The GT3 RS wheels should fit, though.
