They have any size from 8 wide to 13.

Sorry, I meant to say there was no wider than 11" option (for my old car)...and that was on a Monoblock rim I looked at, their RS40. I stand corrected.

The BC Forged line looks pretty good. Not sure about quality/weight?

Quality seems to be very good. They are fully forged wheels with everything machined out of solid pieces of aluminum. They will be the next week I put on my car as well.

Weight I'm sure is low but I'd rather have a wheel that's 1-2lb heavier if it's much stronger.

O I agree, well really 90s forsure. Prefer Monoblock concave design wheels but they are so expensive. You're talking 6-8k a set for fully forged ones. The 2 piece gives you a little cheaper option. I like the concave 2 piece much better than the dish style. These hc-010 is probabaly what I'll put on my car next.

Everyone has their own taste I guess, but I love the stepped lip and exposed bolts. To me it matched the order look of the 996. For example, the wheel above looks great, but would never run it on a 996. Just my personal opinion.

Anyways, Get Your Wheels was correct. They cannot make the m14 wheel in GT2 size yet. They are planning for it in the future, but not at the moment.

Hey the 80s were a good time!

So... Aktavate... you want to trade your 18" CCW wheels for some 19" Champion wheels

Probably one of the few.

Agreed...

Glad to hear Forgestar is planning to make 12" width rears.

Great looking cars, but all with dated wheels.

The wheels are nice looking, but all would be better with a reverse lip and hidden bolts.

911mhawk is infamous around these parts
Some of the gold center, stepped lip with bolts appeal to me is the BBS RS look I grew up with, unfortunately the car is not a 930.
IMO many people want this car to be/look newer at times than it is. It can go either direction in time with the wheel choice. I ended up with a set of OZ in the same color as what came on the car because they were a good deal, new and in GT2 size. A set of e88 or something similar in gold center is next on my list. I liked the look of the RS98s but was not into 19s at the time.
