I weighted them at 26lb fronts and 30lb rears, about the same as the OEM non-hollow turbo twists

Here's a quick snap, I'll take some good photos this weekend perhaps
(I agree, I need to lower it once I sell my exhaust system, I can use it towards coilovers)

I have been Watching Their Listing for a while know... Did you get them from here? http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...=STRK:MEWAX:IT

I have been meaning to get them for a while now but i havent yet... I want them as my Winter Set... My Car actully came with GT3 Wheels from Factory (Option) but i sold them https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...area-only.html soon after as i was a big fan of Turbo Twist... Now i regret selling them... My Mistake is i got Solid Spokes, should have gotten Hollow Spokes for my Winters because they are the Lightest...

I havnt bought those GT3 wheels yet as im still wating for a set of fair Priced Hollow Spokes to come along... But if not ill end up getting these GT3 Rep, i have been wanting to get them and paint them GT3 RS Orange... looks great on Arctic Silver :P

Just incase anyones Intrested in the Weights

TT II's WB Hollow Spokes are 20.5lb Front and 25.5lb Rear (Could be 22f-26r)
TT II's WB Solid Spokes are 25.5lb Front and 32lb Rear
Real GT3 WB are 24lb Front and 27lb Rear
Rep GT3 WB are 26lb Front and 30lb Rear (According to legendr34)

The Hollows are great, especially for weight. The only thing I don't like about them is that they all spin in the same direction, and are thus "opposite" on each side of the car (one side will spin "forward" the other "backwards"). Looks off to me.

Not that we're discussing (save to consider your acquiring an aftermarket set of lightweight wheels), my 9ff's are 19 front and 22 rear. HRE's and Champions are stupid light also. Love em. And Zookie, like you've indicated, my notes say 22f and 26r for the hollows.

Cool Thanks... I have Emailed the guy several times asking about the Weights but he told me he does not have that Info... I told him if you can get me the weights that will help me Buy the Wheels from you, but no Reply... Now Thanks to you, i have that Info (left you Rep Points) and i might just Pull The Triggers in the Near Future... Just wating for the CND Dollar to get Par or Stronger than USD, almost there :P

Although it was measured using a household scale, it should be decently accurate

Oh SURE IT IS, and you thought you lost 12 pounds in a month? Just Kidding!!!

Love that car color, plain and simple and with or without the TT's she's perty.

Were these particular wheels sized to fit a 996T or are they GT3 offset requiring a spacer? How are they fitting overall?

Edit: Okay I see in the ad he says sized to fit but... how well do they fit? What are you using for center caps since it seems he ships blanks?

these were made for the widebody, no spacers needed. the offset looks great, you can use oem centercaps, the color match is flawless

These GT3 wheels are the Same Spec/Offset as Factory WB GT3 wheels that were an Options on 04 and 05 C4S and TT... Many people dont know the WB Did come with GT3 wheels as a Option it was not just Exclusive to the NB GT3

How often do the factory wheels in this style\size come up and are they way more expensive? I looked briefly on Suncoast but didn't see them. Finishline has some that look right but I cannot help but wonder if they aren't factory P wheels <ahem>

Last930 is infamous around these parts
I bought a set of real GT3 wheels off Ebay for around $1400 - it was worth the extra $. They are great looking wheels.
