That is correct. However, Juan's dymags were made for the GT3, not the RS.
Sorry my mistake, forgot to sent the pics:

The offset we use for the 997 GT3 is +58mm and on the RS we use +51mm so the RS would need a 5 to 10mm spacer if you want to use your GT3 wheels on the RS. THANKS FOR YOUR BUSINESS WITH WHEELS BOUTIQUE AND PLEASE SEND PICTURES ON THE CAR.

I will plan to post pics of the GT3 with the Dymags mounted but right now the GT3 is laid up at Champion Motorsport. As I mentioned, the crank pulley became loose and undone causing the car to sverely over heat. Now I'm told that the pulley needs to come from Germany and the latest is they do not have any pulleys. The bull**** is piling on and my patience is coming to its limit. I can not get a substantive answer as to why this happened.
BTW luiscarlos on the 3rd reply of this thread there is a link to see pics I sent of my Dymags.
Cheers, GT3Ranger...Juan

Are you sure? When I had GT3 wheels on my 997 Turbo originally I had to use 18mm spacers on the rear. 5/10mm doesn't sound like it'd be enough.

Dymag is making them with custom offsets I believe, not stock GT3 offsets.

Wow, only 16lbs for the 19x9's. I need a set of those for my RS4.

I ordered the Dymags from my friend Ben at Wheels Botique. They are a first rate wheel and tire shop and I know and trust the quality of their work.
These wheels are outrageous and I can't wait to put them on the GT3 and re-dyno the car. I'm hoping for 10 to 12 rwhp gain. Acceleration, braking and handling should all be enhanced.
Compared to my present HRE 890R wheel the unsprung weight savings are 12lbs. per side up front and 15 lbs. per rear. Compared to the stock wheels that's 30 lbs. per front and 42 lbs per rear. That's based on the unsprung weight calculation (3 x's each lb. saved).
Good luck all, GT3Ranger...Juan.
