New wheels for 997 GT3? BBS CH-Rs or OZ Ultraleggera's?
Or paint the Stock wheels?

[911Thrasher]

could you post pics of both? would be nice to see them on to help (photoshop amateurs)

Are the CH-Rs the cup wheels? (or are they LM-R?)

If so then yes get them

OZ


BBS

[mrdemon]

the OZ are much lighter and look much better .

[NIgt3]

Had the same choice last year for my gt3 and chose the OZ's because they where lighter, very happy with my choice and also RSR at the nurburgring have a gt3 running on the OZ's so must be pretty strong!

Don't know what these are, but saw this car in the flesh on Sunday and they looked superb!

BBS CH-R for me

[rog007]

BBS; they look more substantial and racey. Others look like any old alloy from Halfords.

[Phooey]

HRE

[mrdemon]

Black OZ's on a Black Porsche no question :-)

I had a set of HRE p40s on my M3, which were stunning but could not justify the additional £4000 again for the forged wheel, as I noticed no difference other than the kudos of having a set of HRE. So I promised my self to refrain from a forged wheel this time.
They are the the best though!!!

[mrdemon]

When you say are the best .....

Give me a set of OZ Superforgiata :-)

Nice to see a wheel thread on here for a change! Most people are terrified of 'ruining' their Porsche with aftermarket wheels. Some of those cars looks great with different wheels!

Manthey MM1 shod with Mich PSS - Lightest Forged Racing Wheels but at a cost£££. Changed the dynamic top end speed and stopping distance considerably for the better

The Manthey rim is beautifully made, looks quite similar to the OZ. I wonder who makes the Manthey rims?...

[ZeroH]

Those Manthey rims are lovely Larry - good to hear that they have a positive dynamic effect also... am actually pondering gold OZ Allegerita's on my black turbo !!

You certain about that

Manthey claim the MM1 save 13kg per set on a 997GT2/3

Stock wheel set weigh 50kg so Manthey set weigh 37kg

My BBS FI weigh 32.6kg for the set.

For Manthey's you also need a set of spacers so more weight
