These wheels are perfect for such a race bread car , especially the RS. The price is steep but not surprising. The weights are the best but don't expect to get a 14 lbs. wheel unless you get the 18"x8" wheel. Aset of 19x9 and 19x12 the heaviest wheel is 17 to 18 lbs. The point is that they are gorgeous.

No ten spokes?
May I ask what the price is for a set of 19"

and they need the cut so the OE caps would fit.

I had my Kinesis F110's painted black and installed on my RS. I can totally feel the difference in weight. Car is much more agile and stops even faster---in most times too fast with the PCCB's. Highly recommended.

IMHO any light forged wheel will be good for the GT3 / GT3RS. The stock wheels suck, HEAVY cast design. The rears weigh 31.7 lbs, for a performance car that's unacceptible. They may look ok but I never stay with the stock wheels. Due to costs and the aftermarket manufactures never put much time and money on their wheels. Based on the unsprung weight equation with the Dymags I'll be saving 33 lbs in the fronts and 42 lbs. in the rears and that's per corner !!! Those that defend the stock wheels you may think this over but I say again, IMHO. Thank you.

GTS-R is infamous around these parts
I likely will go aftermarket when my tires need replacing. I am leaning towards champion RS98s. I think they are within 2 lbs per wheel of the dymags and about $3500 cheaper.

Hey Vincentdds enjoying the car ? The Dymags are not even moderately priced. A set with the whole enchilada come to $9600.00. I got a deal at cost because an excellent friend is in the wheel business. They are made in England but US distributor ( Rennworx ) is out by you in California. They are the only ones. The 9 spoke design is very nice. Recommend you get them in white that way its easy to paint and color match to your specific Porsche color. They won't color match, just basic colors, silver and gunmetal ( my choice ). I can't wait to receive them.
