Help w/ Wheel Selection

Hi,

As the season begin to change in New England I am looking to change my 18" Turbo Twist rims on my Artic Silver 996 w/ full aero kit. And yes, I don't have pics of the car at work right now!!!!

So, has anyone used Victor Equipment wheels? Has anyone used the GT3 replica wheels???

I am not interested in spending 6K on wheels and rims and prefer to stay with 18 's.

Any ideas as to what would look correct on the car?

TY
Mike

victor is nice but they are a heavy wheel. I am i the same boat as you right now.. The only problem with staying with 18s is that the selection of wheels is limited.

If you want to save money decide on a couple different wheels and watch the for sale sections and ebay.

I too was looking at the Victor Equipment rims but in a 19" for an inexpensive DD wheel and keep my quality 18's for track duty. Still trying to figure out offsets and tire sizes. The VE wheels seem to be limited on offset choices - for the price anyway! Let us know what you go with.

well, first, why change from the good looking turbo twists in the first place? but for some other great looking rims check out some of the great looking cars on the forum, like Ben's and Brando's. check out the rh alurad 3 piece turbo p's. moral: you get what you pay for. good luck....
