You're kidding, right? GT2 wheels are identical to the GT3 RS wheels.

I have ordered GT3RS wheels for my GT Silver TT Cab. I shopped numerous dealers and found the best price by far from Carnewal. It is worth checking with them. The parts person I dealt with is Gert.

Really? That's surprising! I would've thought you'd be able to get the best price on these wheels from Wheel Enhancement or even Sunset Imports. You MAY have to deal with paying some import taxes when it comes through customs. I got whacked with that when I ordered my GT3 wheels from Gert.

I checked with Sunset and Wheel Enhancement both. Wheel Enhancement was about $6200 and Sunset about $5800 if I remember correctly. Carnewal was $4860 including center caps and shipping. I had not thought about import tax however.

Porsche had raised the price dramatically last month but they are back down to a more reasonable level. Call or pm for a current price.

Wow...that's pretty dramatic. I had no idea that the prices had jumped that much! Gert seems to be immune to the price change. I guess it'd be worth it to pay the import taxes. Thanks for the clarification, kcturbo. It won't be that much compared to the huge price jump from the other sources.

I bought my GT3RS wheels from Carrera Motors ( a Porsche dealer in Bend OR ) about 2 months ago, it was under $4000 ( shipping and wheel caps included ) ! Ask for Steve Byers at Carrera plus ( parts department ) !

I'm on my second set of PS2 tires currently and plan to switch to PZeros next based on testimonies I've heard from others who have had these tires. They seem to like them.
Hey atomic, your info on the part #'s was great. Sent the part #'s to my dealer and the good news was that these were the wheels they were ordering for me. Do you know where lpm got his silver and black center caps?

I'm going with PZeros and if you're not in a hurry, I'll let you know what they're like the turbo compared to the PS2's. I'm thinking about going to the all red tail lights as well as long as the cars getting new shooz.
