Discreet - Porsche 911 (997) GT3 on HRE Performance Wheels R101

Reading time 3 Min.

Do you know the statement "The pure lesson“? No? At that time, Porsche presented the 997 GT3 with a completely revised 305 kW (415 hp) 3,6-liter six-cylinder boxer engine. Even if various modifications such as the new Porsche ActiveSuspension Management chassis (PASM for short) were added compared to the predecessor, the fan base was still extremely happy because the GT3 had remained a real racer in the third generation. And what can you change in such an athlete, what exactly can you "tune"? What thought comes to mind when you dive into the subject of tuning? For the general public, including myself, there is the sporty, sound-rich exhaust, the lowered chassis and of course a significantly increased performance (Chiptuning etc.) are high on the list of priorities. Tuning also means that the vehicle should receive a highly personal touch. The viewing angle of each individual vehicle owner is just as individual. Although statistics are mostly incidental, they should not be underestimated. After all, we are talking here of 60% of all Tuningbegeisterten who first granted their car a new set of wheels and later dealt with the further measures such as chip tuning, etc. In comparison, the dimensions of the replaced rims are at least 1 inches above the sizes of the factory-original rims.

HRE R101 rims & 415PS

The often extremely price-intensive investment hardly leaves any deterrent marks because it actually pays off in retrospect and the design of the car is then presented in a remarkably new shine. The decisive factor for the highly frequented exchange of wheel sets is likely to be, among other things, the mass suitability of the standard rims, which are often presentable. However, the manufacturer orients itself more towards the large target groups and less towards the individualists. On top of that, the rim selection is made using the manufacturer's configurator and that was of course also the case with this silver-gray Porsche 911 (997) GT3. If you put your vehicle together using a configurator, there is ultimately hardly any space for an unmistakable uniqueness. However, there is still a possibility to swim against the current and to be able to detach yourself from the general public. Plan B of the owner of the 911 includes a look at the range of HRE Performance Wheels. Thanks to the perfect combination, the piece of jewelery is now presented even better with a HRE Performance Wheels type R101 wheel set in lush 20 inches. The additional modifications recognizable in the pictures such as the lowering or the Akrapovic Race sports exhaust system with your large tailpipes make the production model an impressive eye-catcher. Of course, the GT3 also owes the newly gained dynamism and the even sportier driving experience to the R101 wheelset. No wonder, because the rims from HRE are not only known in tuner circles for their first-class quality and, above all, for an exquisite range of products. With these respectable alternatives, the standard wheelsets are quickly overshadowed by the new rims. Further information on tuning measures carried out on the GT3 can only be found in the photos and what the tuner has published.
