Very nice!!

I have them on my 991 C4S, but just sold it and got a 997.2 GT3, might have to pick up a set again for the new car.

Hey Peter,


for track use only, will you pick GA3R over GA1R, or both are equally good? Thanks.

Hey Tim,

The GA1R is lighter and stronger being that it is a monoblock. The primary reason the GA3R would be chosen is for ease of repair after off-track incidents, or if the customer simply preferred the appearance better. In the same sizes 19x9 and 19x12 as we have been discussing, the 3R is about .5-1lb heavier up front and 1.5 lbs heavier at the rear...
(20.5 front 23.5 rear) per Forgeline spec

So my choice goes to the 1R, but that being said, both would be plenty suitable.
