Hi there, does anyone know the comparative wheel weights between these two. Are they much the same or is one significantly lighter. I’m considering a swap to GT3 rims on my GTS but don’t want to add weight.

Would seem Spyder rears not as wide.

Don't have the weights but as you will remember I switched my 997 GTS wheels for GT3 rims as I hated the arch gap on the rear of the car with the OE GTS wheels and wanted to fill the arch properly.

You will need....
FRONT - 997.2 GT3 wheels which will an additional +3mm poke (8.5 x 19 ET53)
REAR - 997.2 GT3 RS wheels which will give a perfect additional +15mm poke (12 x 19 ET48)

GT3 wheels are no good for the rear of the GTS as the GTS is a wide body like the RS.

Any other assistance - just ask.

Thanks Chris, yes I remember and you’re the one who got me thinking about it smile

Thanks for the link, I may be missing it but I couldn’t find the centrelocks on there?

You’re right, only the GT3 wheels there unfortunately.
