997.2 turbo with GT3 wheels
saw this car for sale. looks good with gt3 wheels but the offsets are all wrong. also noticed that they have a 997.2 gt3 for sale with turbo wheels. looks like they simply swapped wheels on the 2 cars for some reason

And I thought I have seen it all.
Don't Turbo and GT3 have entirely different wheels with respect to width and offset? To me, this is an absolute no go, regardless of the look.

GT3 is a narrow body so the rear wheels would have the wrong offset on the widebody turbo - need to mount GT3RS wheels for correct offset.

main question is why? why did they swap wheels on the 2 cars? surely they didnt get them mixed up after removing them to clean, etc.

The TT is definitely wearing the GT3 wheels but the GT3 looks like its got HRE P40's.
