Attractive wheels for some other car, I guess, but 20" on a GT3 is just wrong.

Thanks, I can understand where you are coming from. However keep in mind this particular 20" wheel and tire setup is actually lighter by 3 pounds per corner as well as a wider rear contact patch (this car is running 325/25/20 Michellins in the rear)

You guys need to post some track setups here and save this stuff for the turbo and 997/s section.

Looks like the automotive equivalent of a Middleweight Champion in high heels and thigh highs.

Looks-wise I think 20's are too large for any 911 platform. Performance-wise, it's a joke.

These do not belong on a gt3.

A lot of consumers don't take into consideration that just because a wheel setup might be bigger than 19" doesn't mean the wheel is a non functional heavy wheel setup.

Here is a picture of a raw center of our Cipher wheel with our Race Package.

This is a 20" center disc which will go into 21" step lips for a Nissan GT-R.

The total weight of the wheel once assembled is approximately 25.5lbs - for a 21" wheel

Now who wouldn't want their car to look good and be functional at the same time?

That's an easy answer. The owner of this expensive machine wanted those wheels for this particular car.

They actually spin while the car is moving let me know when you want a set sir
