Can't find a set of used OEM 997.1 GT3 wheels, does anybody make replicas?
 
Title says it all. I just picked up a 2007 997.1 GT3 and the wheels are black. I'd much prefer the stock look of silver. Can't seem to find a used set for sale so my backup plan is to find a set of replicas. They will be for minimal street driving so I'm not worried about the weight, etc.. I'll relegate the black wheels for the track when I get a chance to go.

Thanks for any input!

post a wtb in the marketplace...there are plenty of gen 1's that have aftermarket wheels and someone may have a set laying around

Will do Chuck, thanks.

Dell, you could try Wheel Enhancement, or even EBay.

LVDell Dec 7, 2011 07:20 PM

I've tried both. No luck.

NorthVan Dec 7, 2011 07:29 PM

What is your budget?

LVDell Dec 7, 2011 07:44 PM

Not much with the purchase of the car :)

LUISGT3 Dec 7, 2011 07:49 PM

With some minor modifications you could make these work. :D

I will keep my eyes peeled for OEM GT3 wheels

Why not pick up a set of light weight 18" wheels for track work and use the heavy factory units for the street?

Where are you located? I have the stock silvers and may be interested in a trade. I am currently in the west coast?

Gert has TUV approved replicas for a great price.

We have a set of ForgeStar F14 that would work and should be within your budget. The wheels are brushed face with silver windows.

GT3 Chuck Dec 10, 2011 05:07 PM

"would work" will probably not satisfy a do it yourselfer like Dell...what are the offsets and wheel width/diameters...pics would help
