There are two option for cl wheels in 18" in my opinion

1) bbs
2) gmg wc

If not cl Ccw is a good heavy choice

Black hides the brake dust

-OZ's are a great buy for the price, if they get damaged get a new one for cheap!
-CCW's are a bargain for forged wheels

I'm pretty surprised the Champion RG5s don't get more love here. They're the closest look to the one-piece forged BBS motorsport wheels featured on the RSRs for nearly half the cost. Sure, not as cheap as the OZs/CCWs, but justified and aesthetically much more pleasing to look @ imho. They're my favorite wheels for the 911 to date no matter the cost.

-One of the lightest in the best-of-breed market in perfect 19" GT3 fitment
-One-piece construction
-Forged in Japan in an 8000lbs press
-Beautiful, durable gleaming silver finish
-Steady supply by a known brand

I bought them through www.cantrellmotorsport.com



My cabana suite @ Hollywood Roosevelt

areokitted ~ what a nice car that I can get my head around. The wheels do look close to the bbs i will do some reading on those later on. whats the weight do you know? Were they light and are they 18"?

gt2urbo ~ what wing is that? Cup wing on a gt2? What wheels are they also (my guess is ccw's) Gold on black is a win. Nice look. I like it very much. Hell of a car you have there. Whats the weight of these wheels? Sizes avalible?

Soo many choices out there. tough to choose even 2 sets. Great pics everyone. Cheers

edit: I also considered these aswell ~anyone with experience rolling these

lo,

19s only... 18-19lbs front, 22 rear iirc? they make an even lighter set, but they just don't have that timeless BBS y spoke.

if i were going for multi-piece wheels, i'd no question get the formula43s. i don't like the HRE comps. they have this really cheap looking inner rim design like they just got lazy or something.
