I'm in the market to switch wheels since summer is rapidly approaching. My car came with 18" Classics (made by BBS) with black centers and a polished lip.

I'm looking to upgrade to a 19" application, I know how some frown upon 19s, but I'll be using my 18's for the track anyways. Let me know what you guys think, I'm having a tough time with this, as I love all four of them. (oh and before you guys jump the gun, I have clear side markers in and suspension is on its way! this is an old pic)

Thanks for your help, guys. ps. my p-shop skills are lacking, so pls bear with me!

1. HRE 841R
2. HRE 542R
3. BBS LMs
4. Techart Formulas
none of those 22''s will fit the 996.

How about black powdercoated Kinesis K19R? That would be my choice for that car. If you need a price let me know!

Go with the RS-GT in Diamond black with a modest lip... I have no photo shop skills..... That’s my opinion

The only to do it is with a rag around your hand... one spoke at a time.... 19s are a lot easier than 17s but still a nightmare!!!!

The LM's aren't that bad. Cleaning wheels in general blows, so it's only a little worse. Also, you really don't notice the inside of the rims as much as other wheels with very open spokes, so you don't have to clean that area as often.
