GT3 - What do you think of these alloys?

[puntograle]

Hi - I'm not a fan of aftermarket alloys on a road going GT3. However, there is something about these alloys that kind of appeal to me. What do you guys think? Not sure if they are the standard 18". Anyone know what they are?

Dont know the make but they look like 997 GT3.2 centrelock look-a-likes, probably 19".

Look OK, but Wrong Diddly Wrong IMO.

Awful.

IMHO

...worse than the bloody awful ones that should be on it...

I've never liked any of the wheels on GT3s since the Mk1; why they couldn't just fit a nice set of BBS split rims has always escaped me.

Oh well...as we were then.

...I just have a soft spot for any 911 sporting the GT3 moniker!

Really? I love the 996 Mk2 ones...

don't do it - standard is best!

Wheels aside, quite keenly priced. Looks like it is sporting Alcon brakes.

Quite nice but the "center" is too big for my liking.

Thats where the centrelock should be!

I don't like the annoying way the spokes interface with the rim, nor do I care for the odd spoke shape...its not symmetrical enough for me...and I even struggle a bit with the Mk1 wheels but I have them so thats that.

I guess we are all different. Look great to me!

Looks a keenly prices clubsport by the looks of it to me, wheels aside.

I agree that they're better in silver than the two tone that came on the RS but give me a nice set of BBS racing wheels nonetheless.
