Hi.Great website, where have I been? Lots of good photos. Thinking about buying some new rims for the GT3, any sugestions? How will a lighter rim make the car feel in comparison to the stock rims?

Welcome to the Team, what year is your GT3? Lots of great options including 2010 and newer center-lock ones here from various sponsors.

2010. Have read a lighter rim changes the feel of the car. Do the engineers at Porsche set up for the upsring weight of the stock rims? What happens when you go to a lighter wheel? I had an Elise many years ago, and when I went to lighter rims, I could tell a big difference in the car. The tires were very close in compound.

Well done indeed and as far as wheels go we usually do the light weight hre's.

I know it is a cheesy picture, but loves the road. Only 6k miles so far
