Where is the best place to purchase wheels/tires for my GT3? I am considering buying the OEM wheels in case I damage one of the originals on the street. Other options include Fiske. If I do go OEM I am hoping to do better than at the dealer.

Thank you, Karl

 

Karl, Talk to Gert at Carnewal, I know he has the OEM GT3 wheels and also the painted GT3 RS wheels.

 

How to I contact Carnwell? I never heard of that company. Thank you

 

Look to the right.....under Diamond Detailing

 

Thank you. I checked them out and their price is $800 higher than the local dealer quoted me!

 

You can thank the dollar's weakness against the Euro for that

 

Yes I agree, but anyone in the US has to buy them from Europe to start with. There is no way to escape the exchange issue.

 

ordered mine from dealer, under $3000. for set. I have been fed up with fit problems from aftermarket companys, and bad shipping times from BBS, and decided to do orig. wheels. I was surprised, they are fairly light also.

 

Due to the weak dollar, his prices arent the best now.

 

Check out Kinesis. They have some awesome looking wheels that are light, strong and have black anodized centers if that catches your fancy. I believe wheel experts, a board sponser is now carrying kinesis. I have only heard of good things from them and may get another set of wheels through them equipped with Michelin cups or Pirelli corsa's

 

I agree that they are nice wheels. In the end I went with OEM. I did this just in case I nick a wheel on the street. If that happened I can then move the ugly wheel to the track set.

 

I had Kenisis wheels on my race car. They had to go back 3 times for wrong fit. A year later I ordered another set using prior set numbers and it still took 2 trys. They did stand behind them and gave good service after the initial problems were resolved.

 

HRE is comming out with a light weight wheel sometime this spring, there are pictures of it in Porsche Excelence mag.

 

Porsche North America just got in several sets of GT3 wheels and I bought 2 sets.
I can sell them for less then your dealer will
