Porsche 911 GT3 gets Vossen forged lightweight wheels

The GT Silver Metallic Porsche 911 GT3 (992) has been fitted with a set of Vossen EVO-2R forged wheels, a change that blends visual refinement with potential performance gains.

Vossen wheels replace stock rims on the track‑ready GT3

The custom wheels measure 20 × 9.5 inches at the front and 21 × 12.5 inches at the rear. They are finished in a Marbled Matte Clear coat that matches the car’s GT Silver Metallic paint. Vossen describes the EVO‑2R series as lightweight forged alloy, a claim that aligns with the Porsche’s emphasis on reduced unsprung mass.

According to the vehicle’s specifications, the 2022 Porsche 911 GT3 is powered by a 3.9‑liter naturally aspirated engine delivering 510 horsepower and 470 Nm (346 lb‑ft) of torque. The car reaches 0‑100 km/h (0‑62 mph) in 3.9 seconds and tops out at 320 km/h (198 mph) when paired with the six‑speed manual gearbox.

Beyond the powerplant, the GT3 incorporates carbon‑fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) body panels, Porsche Carbon Ceramic Brakes (PCCB), and a performance‑focused suspension. These components are designed for road‑legal track use, making the vehicle a benchmark for driver‑oriented sports cars.

How the new wheels fit into the GT3’s overall package

Replacing the original wheels with Vossen’s forged set aims to complement the car’s existing performance architecture. The larger rear diameter—21 × 12.5 inches—helps accommodate the GT3’s wide rear tires, which are necessary for transmitting the engine’s torque to the road.

While the press release does not provide independent test data, the reduction in weight typically improves acceleration, braking and handling by lowering unsprung mass and rotational inertia. In a vehicle that already features PCCB and a sophisticated suspension, such a change could refine the car’s balance on the track.

From a styling perspective, the Marbled Matte Clear finish offers a subdued contrast to the metallic bodywork. The result is a look that avoids the more flamboyant colors sometimes seen on the model, such as Racing Yellow, Python Green, or Agathe Gray.

Owners who prioritize both aesthetics and performance may find the Vossen wheels a logical upgrade. If the forged alloy delivers the expected weight savings, the GT3 could see modest gains in lap times without compromising its street legality. Any measurable advantage will depend on how the wheels interact with the car’s existing setup, including tire choice and alignment settings.

The look is striking.
