I had Champion RG5 Monolites on my C2 and I loved them! I pulled them out of the box and almost threw them through the ceiling they're so light. Another great rim by champion is the RS97. I've been told by many people that the RG5 is the best rim ever for a 911. It's all opinion though.

I am a huge fan of BBS's. They have proven themselves time and time again. I love the LM's, but if you want light wheels go for the CH's.

I've looked at BBS' in addition to Champion. BBS are great rims as well. Won't go wrong with either.

I just ordered set of VR3P's from the Wheel source in Dayton. Nice wheel and Dave Schardt stands behind his products. You can get the center in any color you want and you can get the lips polished or chromed.

Another Champion fan here. I've got the RG5's on my C2. They are forged, very strong and the 11" rears are under 20 lbs each!!!

Fikse wheels are beautiful and a true lightweight racing wheel. Their lips are very soft and need a good installer to not damage. Will
