    Re: Vote for your favorite 997 Wheels

    Mmmmm.... Seems like Carrera S Wheels are taking the lead. I really thought the competition would be none for the XRRs.

    Re: Vote for your favorite 997 Wheels

    Guys, its an overwhelming response and great to see so many opinions differ. I've got a 997s with the aerokit and would like to go for the GT3 wheels. This company in the UK have offer me these wheels but can anyone help to advice if the 12x19 " rear wheels will fit onto the C2S or require any spacers or modifications. Appreciate your contributions. Hv a gd weekend!

    Gentlemans, anyone knows apart from Wheel Enhancements, whom else would carry and sell original 997 GT3 wheels? Apart from OPC. Cheers.

    The offsets on the GT3 wheels are very close to the Carrera Sport wheels which fit on a C2S without spacers.

    Carrera Sport 8.5 x 19 et 55 and 11.5 x 19 et 67
    GT3 8.5 x 19 et 53 and 12.0 x 19 et 68

    The GT3 wheels should work with no problems.

    Thanks alot guys.

    Yes, Design911 is the one who offered me but would like to know if anyone else carry these items cause the price quoted is about USD 4k.

    Great if the wheels fit on well and no spacers needed. Cheers.

    Try to post some photos soon. Hv a good weekend guys.

    Re: Pics of C2S with XRR wheels ???

    See my post on Page 2 of this thread for a pic of my black C2S with Sport wheels--it's not a cab but you can get the idea. They are painted wheels (come std as GT silver). They do look a little darker in lower light conditions. I understand that you can order them to match exterior color also. The outer rims are polished alloy. I have grown to love these wheels--the only others I considered were the Classics. I have found them pretty easy to clean--obviously there are more spokes to clean (10 versus 5) and it is a little harder to clean the inside of the wheel but I think they are worth the added maintenance time.

    I love the GT3 wheels on a GT3 but the Carrera Classics look best on the Carrera and Carrera S, IMHO.
