Hottest lightweight 18" wheels for GT2?
#16
grussell, awesome car. The color, the wheels and indeed the model are perfect
The new GT2 wheel is beautiful but of course some lip is nice when you've got so wide wheels
About the looks, wide 18" wheels with a lowered suspension is REALLY nice look for a 996, especially for the widebody.
18" is for racing, 19" is for bling, in which side do you want to be?
(Nowadays when our eyes are familiar with big wheels in any car, of course the 19" seems to look better in 996....)
Anyway here's 18" Cargraphic Racing in our 996 Carrera:
And here's 18" Techart Daytona's in our 996 Turbo (the suspension will be installed after the winter):

Do you guys think the aftermarket 18" wheels (BBS, Kinesis and etc) look noticeably better than the 04/05 GT2 wheel?

How about these?
Forgeline ZX3-R.
18.5lbs front 21lbs rear.
Overall, my favorite wheel has to be the Champion Mg wheels, but at $9K+ a set, I don't think they are worth the 1.5 lbs/wheel savings. Nice to look at though...

Grussel those are extremely lightweight wheels and magnesium correct? They wouldnt sell me a set because they said on the street they would bend easily, but you mentioned aluminum?? What are the specs on those
Thanks! Martin

Are those RG5's 19"?
Does anyone have pics of the Champion RG5's in 18"? Preferably on a seal gray GT2?
Thanks

We just got a set of the BBS ALu (will take pix tonight) for a GT700 car and man let me tell you those things are so so light. They are 1/2 pound lighter than my MAGS even! They weight 19 in the front and 20 in the rear. This is GT2 sizes guys...
