Curious to hear what people may have fitted. Is there anything sutstantially lighter than standard?

I went with OZ Ultraleggera HLT.

[m33ufo]

Have you done a weight comparison to standard?

[mm450exc]

I did a 5 lug conversion. So 5 lug wheel.

I believe the front was 1kg lighter and the rear 1kg heavier.

no, expensive by the time you add freight, 10% import tax, and 20% VAT on all of that

SUPERFORGIATA what are they 7.5kg a wheel !

New wheel BBS is releasing called F1 R. It's the biz. Both centre lock and five lug

Those BBS are simply beautiful. I would be worried that no spare sets would be available, but i bet they'd be worth the same (or even more) if you were ever to sell them on.

The thread says they're not available for NB 997 GT3, but LuckyP who posts on here PH had a set on his car.

[m33ufo]

...but these are more Motorsport and 2755 euros cheaper??

[m33ufo]

It's a difficult choice. The lower price helps!

Can you get the 'RE' ones in 5 stud too?

[m33ufo]

Can someone confirm the offsets on the OEM Gen 2 wheels?
