Are you sure you want a 12" rear? Standard size is 11"

What are you after, turbo style or the ten spoke Gt3 style. 12's are correct for GT2 rears.

MK 2 ten spoked items are very rare used, last set seen on eBay USA for £3200.

They really look good though.

Try your local OPC discounts are available ;-)

The mark 2 which i think must be the 10 spoke, not the turbo wheel.

I've been offered 3 wheels actually, 2 fronts one rear so i could just buy a single rear here.

Could work out the cheapest way to build a set that way as there aren't many doner cars around.

yes that is what i am thinking but just cautious about picking up 3 and being one short!

Didn't consul buy the last set from an OPC? Remember him saying they were the last set Porsche had, cost crazy money.


Good luck with the search, they do look good, although I like the original GT2 wheels as well.

Consul got the last set in the network at the time, but they are still available from Germany to order.

Rebuilt the engine seemed prudent
Race internals

Bigger turbos
Bigger fuel pump

Throttle bodies
Methanol kit to cool and produce race fuel
Lots more

Just sensible value

I'd like them I don't need to chase them as there are alternatives

Thanks though

Pretty sure GT2 was 12".

There are three OE versions of these rear wheels, 996 turbo & C4S fitment, GT3.2 fitment and GT2.2 fitment.
