I was talking more for cosmetic reasons.. BUT the performance issue is just as important.

Anyone know if the brombacher wheels have the problem of water buildup behind the face of the wheel? It looks like it has come down to the Champion wheel RG5 or the Brombacher in 19"

tcb996TT is infamous around these parts
I have the black Techart Formula 19's on my silver TT and I really like them. The silver 19's or 20's would look great on your dark blue car, check them out and see what you think, especially in light of your plan to do the Techart style bodykit.

Have you considered DPE or Enkreuz?

We are authorized dealers for both if you are interested in getting some quotes.

Never heard of DPE or Enkreuz? Both make fantastic multi-piece forged wheels. Let me know if you're interested in learning more about either.

I voted with my wallet.

I do suggest on "GT2" fitment if you're buying new. at least 8.5" fronts and 12" rears. You will need to roll the rears like the factory did with the GT2 to shoehorn those bad boys in!

HRE P40s with no lip are the latest rage. I think champion has a similar wheel now, will definitely fit with some minor spacer work: https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...&highlight=lip
