Champion does offer a 12x19 RG5. It's intended for the rear of the 997 GT3 RS however it is nearly identical in offset to a 996 GT2 wheel.

I think this co has some very nice wheels.....
German quality and the sizes / offsets are spot on.

-brake dust eats into finishes
-you need to keep wheels clean whether it's deep dish or flat face, factory or aftermarket
-you got tired of cleaning yours
you get the results you deserve.
wtf does my driving frequency have anything to do with anything here? way to make it personal.
with all that said, i would stay away from raw polished wheels because they have 0 clear coat on them which make them ultra high maintenance. BBS LMs are shiny and durable, so are the OZ 3 lip. the HRE and fikse wheels sometimes do not have this layer of protection. i'd always get wheels with a clearcoated lip.

I think the mesh look is starting to look tired.....In MY humble opinion.
That's why they make so many different designs.

can't look tired when it's classic. it's like saying a dark gray suits are going out of style. sorrry dude, it's the TRUTH.
and it's not like 5-spokes haven't been around... 5 spokes are more corvette/mustangs than porsche/bmw/honda.

You know Ben WTF, why don't you get off your freeking high horse and realized you don't respect anyones input, except what you have to say. Just because anyother persons option is not the same as yours, there is no need to walk all over it. Didn't you mama tell you if you got nothing nice to say, Don't open you freeking trap! Its nothing personal, untill you make it so.

Wheels with clearcoated lips require less maintenance and look a bit better but that is all short term until the clearcoat starts peeling and/or the heat/brake dust starts pitting into it. With that they often look terrible.
I prefer raw polished wheels, with a bit of mother's polish, looks emmaculate every time!!!! I also like the raw polish for that performance/race look over the bling.
Just my 2 cents.
