Nice car! I would not have put those wheels on my car!! They don't go with the car at all! Sorry just my honest opinion.

I have these rims on my GT3 and they save 6.2 pounds per corner at the front and 6.8 lbs at the rear. 26 lbs of rotating mass gone for less than half the price of a set of champion RG5s (which save 30 lbs) seems like a good deal to me. But I think the grey needs to go

The wheels look great and they're lighter to boot! I don't understand why some are saying that they were the wrong choice, can someone chime-in?

Hmm I have TE37 TAs on my 997TT. I don't think they look that bad on my car lol. I kept my stock turbo rims just in case though.

I think the offset is a little off...but if it's for track purposes who gives a damn haha
