GT3 with OZ Superforgiatas pics

Here are some very quick pictures of my GT3 with new OZ Superforgiatas. They are 19x8.5 and 19x12 with Michelin 235/35/19 and 305/30/19. These wheels seem to fit the car very well and are of course are super light! I will get some more pictures up, thanks to Damon at Tire Rack for the great service.

Great job! Nice wheels, brakes, front lip, rear wing, etc.. looks fantastic.

Those wheels and brakes must save you close to 30 lbs.

Wow! I really like the way that looks. Any idea how many pounds the wheels took off of each corner?

Yes you can, in fact the wheels came with both the carbon fiber oz ones and color matched porsche center caps. But the Porsche crest was painted along with the whole cap, was a bit too much silver wheel color and they didn't pop like the oz carbon caps. I also tried factory 997 gt3 rs caps in them also and they fit great too.

As far as weights, the wheels took off approximately 8lbs per front corner and 10lbs per rear corner. I am not sure about the brembo brakes, although I know they are lighter than factory brakes. These wheels are very light and silver on face in the sun, and then can be very dark on the side tone, or in the shade. Also at an angle you can really see the details of the inside of the spokes, but once again when looking straight on at them from a distance the spokes almost disappear into the brakes. I am just trying to describe the little details about these wheels, I scanned all over the internet looking for pictures prior to ordering them, but there just aren't too many pictures of these wheels mounted on cars, or pictures from different angles.
