Will standard Turbo wheels fit? Looking for a set of track wheels/tires, and there are lots of Turbo wheels out on the market, far fewer that are the same as the GT3 standard size...

Guess I found my answer with some more digging -- Turbo wheels won't fit. Sounds like the only porsche wheels that will fit the GT3 are the GT3 wheels or Sport Technos. Anyone know the weight comparo of those two wheels?

Thinking of a track set, may just get another set of GT3 wheels or maybe some Fikse Profil's...

I vote Kinesis or Fikse. Both light and strong with proper offsets.

I have heard that the HRE Competition wheels have been delayed. They don't appear on HRE's website: http://www.hrewheels.com.

I've owned and would recommend Kinesis or Fikse wheels.

I also just picked up a set of BBS wheels (RE794, RE795 -- the magnesium wheels used in Porsche Cup), which are really nice and light, but are a bit pricey.
