OEM 997.2 GT3RS wheel, 5 lug version

IMO, the OEM 997.2 GT3RS wheels are one of the best looking wheels for our cars. I'd love to get a set but I'm not really up to doing a center lock conversion.

Does anyone reputable company make these wheels in a 5 lug version for a 997.1 Turbo? Anyone?

(the silver version)

They don't exist, HRE P101 are gorgeous though, I'm sure Wheelsboutique or HRE themselves could help you out here!

Unmatched quality too!

I had a very similar knock-off version on my Cayman S. The wheels were cheap but they looked like a million bucks. I got so many compliments on the car that were specifically related to the wheels. Attached is a photo.

Those wheels look great Miggy. Same design and 5 lug too!

I wonder if any of the big wheel manufacturers or Porsche would ever make wheels like these for us.

They only fit the narrow body cars — and only with the right spacers. I'd kill for a well built wide body set!

I have a beautiful set of take-offs 2008 GT3-RS wheels as pictured, but in black.

Porsche OEM original. Wheels only, no tires, no tpms.

Something like this in 5 lug would be nice too.

There is no wheel like you are looking for. I did the same search last year. Eventually I accepted I needed to have the centre lock conversion carried out and had Porsche do the job. I now have a Turbo with those very wheels on!

Thanks. I do love the look. I spent months looking for a five lug version and almost bought a couple of different sets of wheels. But the more I looked the more I knew I just had to have those exact wheels.

I needed to lower the car once the wheels were on as it looked too high.

They look like they sit pretty flush too. These wheels just look so right on a turbo. Thanks for sharing. Btw, how do you like living with the CL's so far?

They are flush. The fronts actually stick out and I am going to fit the GT2RS wings/fenders to cover them. Although they only just protrude.

I had the conversion don't last August and I love it. However I haven't had any cause to remove the wheels so I'm happy do far.

This is probably the closest to the GT2RS wheels that you will find for five lug.

They are OZ Ultraleggera.

Funny, I was just looking at those! Not sure if I love them, but I can see what you're saying.
