Ok, So I bought a set of the 997.2 GT3 replicas and not really the "look" I wanted. So I trying to find a reputable company that makes the 997.1 in 19x8.5/19x11


This is the only place I've found so far, but they're in Italy.

post some pictures when you get them

do you have a picture of the 997.2 gt3 replicas? where did you get those?

 

Here is some pictures, my buddy at discount ordered them for me. Then I had them powdercoated in mirror black.

 

imo looks better thanthe .1 gt3 wheels. What you need is a drop =)

 

LOL, I like your style Buddhamonk...

 

Thise replicas wont stand a chance in ny roads bent within the first 25miles but they look pretty decent

 

My wheels are 6061 T6 heat treated aluminum, unless you hit a pothole I don't see why you would have any troubles with structural issues?

 

people who have never used replicas always say that replicas are structurally inferior. Plenty of pictures of failed replica wheels on the internet but I've always been very happy with previous replica that I've had on my other cars. After a layer of brake dust, they all look like the real thing =)

 

exactly...

 

I personally have had several sets of replica wheels on a few different cars and have only had one to date bend and it was in a massive pothole. I am sure they have some inferiority of some high end reputable brands but they are not junk for the most part. People just love to bash them as if your not buying HRE's your cheap and your wheels are going to explode. Not everyone can nor do they want to spend $10K on wheels & tires.

 

I have HRE P40's on my gt500, and I love them because they are forged, but do I believe they are worth $3000 more than these replicas I bought for the Porsche... nope!

 

I like OEM, here are mine for comparison...

 

I like OEM as well, but Porsche NEVER made 997.2 GT3 wheels that were not a spindle nut mounts. That is why I purchased the wheels I have.


I would love to find a set of 997.1 GT3 OEM wheels, but they are HARD to find...

 

I do like the .1 better than the .2

 

So any leads where to get some .1 replica wheels???


I missed the set that sold on here and they were authentic!
