Hi All!

First post! I have a 997.1 GT3 & I'm looking for a spare set of original alloys for the car. Can't find any on ebay and the set for sale in the classifieds here are too expensive.

I know you can buy a set of GT3 'style' wheels brand new for around a grand but I'd rather have the originals.

Is there anywhere else I should be looking or does anyone know where I can pick up a set of used ones???

Cheers

Can't answer your query, but I recall a "what alternative 7.1 GT3 wheel" thread from some time back, which showed the OEM 7.1 GT3 wheels to be the heaviest (or second heaviest?) across the gen 1 range - which was a bit of a shocker?

I bought some new (genuine) Porsche 19" Carerra S II wheels for my Boxster last year and I got a bit of a deal on the wheel / tyre package by ringing up and asking what they could do ..... Not cheap, but exactly what I wanted and much cheaper than an OPC http://www.alloywheelsdirect.net/porsche_alloy_whe...

Firstly, apologies for reviving old thread but looking for some help to source some gt3 alloys.

Looking for a set of used alloys from a gt3 (narrow body so cannot be gt3 rs).

Been searching high and low for a set, but can't find any anywhere.

Help much appreciated!

I have the same dilemma - can't find a set of used GT3 alloys anywhere. Anyone else got some they would like to sell?

Set of OZ Ultraleggeras to be had for around £1700 with the correct offsets.
Lighter than OE and very nice looking.

A general tip if hunting for used wheels for porkers : when searching eBay, include international listings in your results and search for Felgen instead of wheels to include listings from Germany. There tend to be more available over there typically (though money tends to be strong).

e.g. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ORIG-Porsche-997-19-Zoll...
