I guess this has been beaten to death. I imagine the RA-1 comes in whatever size you need for that new-fangled beast of yours. This will be my first weekend on RA-1s so I will post how they work out.

What run group are you in? Recommendations for Green/ Blue will be different from White/ Black and Red Groups (i.e., performance street tires, DOT-rated r-compounds and all-out track tires). Don't have much to offer WRT wheels; most track guys in high run groups run Fikses and other custom 3-piece wheels.

Stefan is a damned good black group driver. Don't have an answer for you, but I would be happy to test them for you. Just say the word, because that's the kind of friend I am

Suspect the 997 GT3 comes with 19". For my 997/s I got the SportTechnic Mono Lights: 18#f, 19# r !! Big difference in unsprung weight betwen these and my OEMs. Also had new Michelin Sport Cups mounted on them. Big difference in grip.

The MPSC's get my vote for the best performance/bang for the buck factor. Unless you're racing or are allergic to money in your pocket, Hoosiers are overkill.

contact John at Complete Custom Wheel. (1-888-577-0144 )....I bought a set of made to order 18 inch wheels, for my 997 for autocross. not as blingy as some other wheels out there but seem well built, lighter than OEM, priced at half of the more popular name brand wheels.
I hear the pilot sport cups are the way to go. please share your decision. best of luck!

I'm sticking with the MPSCs on my GT3 for a while (just order a backup set last night). Main downfall is each set costs $1,723 from tirerack ($524 Rear each, $316 front each).
