The colour actually seems to work well with brake dust, changing colour to a shadowy titanium rather than simply looking grotty.

It's amazing how much the wheels change depending on levels of sunlight, the above is with just a tiny hint of sun poking between the clouds.

I'm also thinking of getting some Weiss gold wheels to fit my Black RS..However when i mentioned it to my instructor last time at the PEC, he quickly responded by insisting i only fit OEM rims to avoid any issues with warranty or insurance claims..I also mean to fit MP4Ss for winter use but my main reason was to prevent my Mags being damaged on track kerbs..

Funny I also recently went from Black wheels to Weiss Gold along with some 911R stripes and a Magnus Walker Flag on the back. Had the car 4.5yrs now and maybe not everyone's cup of Tea but can all easily be removed. Car looks great and more racecar like in the flesh. Completely transformed. Feels like having a new car.
Great job on the Wheels by Specialist Wheels in Garforth and VinylFX in Hull for making and expert application of all the graphics.

Also when renewing tyres on the GT3 I'd personally go for a 245 at the front whilst keeping 305s at the back. Helps reduce understeer.
On the GT2 you can go GT2 RS tyre size with 245 and 325 section tyres. White GT2 looks like its already sporting the larger section GT2 RS size tyres

Not sure about the fronts going to 245 as presently 235 factory size, but back tires are 325 factory size same as RS. Change all to CUP 2's and difference from previous is very noticeable. And they look great. :-)
Desert Dragon said:
Is Weiss Gold the new Black?
Those GT3s and GT2s look very nice on those wheels chaps.
Well the pictures don't really do them justice. They look like jewels. Finish is very subtle and with a bit of light or sun on them look fantastic. Was somewhat bored of black and had a vision for the 911R stripes, decals and flags and it was either silver or Weiss Gold for the wheels to go with the new look, completely lifts the car.

You can go 245 35 19 at the front. They work with 7 GT2 rims which are 8.5 inches wide at the front. You should get less understeer and more steering weight if you find this an issue hence the GT2 RS going for wider track at front and wider tyres. Well worth trying if you do track days etc. For road driving not needed at all. Car looks fantastic - reminds me of the Sharkwerks GT2 over the pond but yours looks nicer IMO

Cool. I will give the bigger ones a go next time I think, and thanks, the Sharkwerks car was certainly the inspiration for the flags on the wing, thought it tied the car together quite nicely and the Weiss Gold wheels really go with the black and red. Wish I'd done it earlier, but in time for summer anyway.
Thanks all, glad there's some love for ze weiss!

Looks ace, was probably my GT2 you mentioned, also by Chris at Excel.
Still have them in WG 4 years later, need a refurb now though.
This is indeed the photo which I seem to recall making my jaw drop when I first saw it.
Jitstar said:
I saw this colour on a black 996 GT3, and I thought it would be quite fun to try whilst I was doing some suspension work. Quite like gold on green.
Gold on green is a pretty classic combo - looks well.

Did you drive through Victoria today...JOP?
I considered a Weiss gold refurb as I'm a fan of that colour, but instead went with new OZ's in 'racing gold'
When time comes for a refurb I'll do that in Weiss gold

Those wheels look lovely, may I ask where you got them from?
Any advice you can give me would also be most welcome. Feel free to PM me if you like.

Yes, heading out of London.
You were sat on the inside lane at the traffic lights in Grosvenor Gardens , I crossed in front an noticed the Weiss Gold wheels.
Nice to visually an virtually meet!
I was looking at refurbishing my wheels (turbo twists on a Lapis blue 996 Carrera) and I was going to go with a bright silver. Weiss gold looks like a nice subtly different alternative though.

Really good job as you say makes it look like a new car
I thought I would show you my old car which I really miss, I think the gold wheels and decals make the car look awesome.
Geoff
you have an amazing taste in cars sir. that 997.2 GT3RS is my dream car as they just look the part, drive so well and the sound is just awesome.
they look so right with the wheel colour and decals in the Weiss gold.
mind you your GT2 is not exactly shy and I love the colour of the wheels and what you have done. top work
thanks for flagging up and I will give them a shout and tell them you recommended them
Nick
Thanks to this thread I took the plunge and had my 19 inch Carrera II S wheels refurbed and PS4S fitted, sorry not the best phone pics and filtered slighty but I am very pleased with the result also big thanks to Chris at Exel wheels, another very happy customer.

TBF, the two colours, in certain (low levels of natural) light, can look very, very similar.
I have a black 997 GT3 which has had black wheels for most of its life. I've had the car a few years and have always wanted to change them, but hadn't made it happen until now. I have been switching a few times in my mind during the past 18 months between standard silver and weiss gold, ever since I saw some photos of a black GT2 with weiss gold wheels. I finally bit bullet with the latter.
It's surprising to me to see how different the car can look.
Dirty after an early morning weekend run:
On replacement wheels while mine got refurbished:
Clean in morning sun:
Wheels today:
It's amazing how much the wheels change depending on levels of sunlight, the above is with just a tiny hint of sun poking between the clouds. In full sunlight they're incredibly reflective. I'm delighted with the outcome, I think I'll have to find somewhere to park up when it's sunny, grab a coffee and just stare at it.
The car is now on Cup2s as well so I'm looking forward to trying those out on a track day.
The wheels were done by Chris at Exel Wheels.
ETA: updated photo links

Just bumping this thread after fixing old photo links in my original post.
The colour actually seems to work well with brake dust, changing colour to a shadowy titanium rather than simply looking grotty. Which is just as well given how much dust these brake pads produce...
Am a bit disappointed with some chips in the wheels after only 12 months but I don't know if that is typical for a mix of road/track use.

Looks great still, I know what you mean ref brake pad dust, it does give the wheels a whole other look
Few chips on mine too but from where I've accidentally dropped the bolts on them when removing...

After seeing this thread I’m going to have my Cayman’s Spyder wheels refurbed in Weiss Gold instead of Platinum satin.
Looks great on a black car.
I agree on the comment on them looking great on a black car, not so sure on white, keep thinking about it for my white spyder but might need to see one in the flesh to make my mind up
Hard to know but think it could work. There’s a company in the US called NS2 Media who can do renderings but they aren’t cheap.
Funnily enough I have just asked for a quote today for some Weiss Gold BBS Wheels

Thinking about putting them on my GT3
Car currently looks like this
Wheels would look something like this but BBS not OEM (not changing decals)
Keep my OEM black wheels and put some PS4S on them for Winter and have Cup 2's on the BBS for Summer. Man math's coming in to play there to justify dropping a stupid sum on another set of wheels. Though I think if I ever sold them I'd get a decent amount back for them so it's not dead money.
I got the renderings done before I ordered the car when I was playing around with colours and different decals.
JCR have some Weiss Gold BBS FI-R's on their GT3 RS

So just so I’m clear you are buying the same wheels as per the JCR car below ? If so they are EPIC and maybe I should order a set and we could combine our two orders to hit BBS with massive volume order to receive a huge discount - thoughts most welcome

I am still waiting for RImstyle to come back to me on the UK price....24 hours later. Business must be good !
Just placed order with Hendrik at Baanvelgen. Its B2B sale so no VAT. If you'd like to take advantage feel free to PM me. Touch over £6k landed at your door with everything, TPMS, PS4S tyres n rated and balanced/fitted. Rimstyle who I bought from before are at £7500 inc VAT. Have BBS F1 on my 997 and they're brill wheels I've had no issue with them at all. Delivery being quoted July but they generally come quicker in my experience. 20% deposit whilst you wait.

Very good deal IMO when you consider a full set of balanced N spec MP4Ss and TPMS...Can't see any UK seller competing with that.
Just ordered a set of WG FI-R’s from Rimstyle. Given the factory told me WG is £500 extra on a set of four wheels and I have paid VAT it comes in pretty close to the above.
Special order so going to have to wait til early summer. I know a lot of people like Aurum but I don’t like it.

You'll be amazed how light they are. The 19 inch on 997 you can pick rears up with little finger they're so light! For 991 went for a funky colour too
