I agree that for looks it does need to be lowered a bit. However I still have more I want to learn on the track with stock springs and height. The only thing I've touched with the suspension is to add front control arms to dial in more camber.

The BBS FI-R is a fantastic wheel, but my only concern is immediate availability.

I would be happy to assist you with any questions you have and share our experiences with you regarding all four brands.

You can call me directly at 760-550-1266 or our main office line 310-836-8908. I can also be emailed at guy@wheelenhancement.com
I am curious what are the strengths each individual brand has over one another? I bet others would want to know that as well. I have never really seen that discussed.

haha...I missed that! They sit so nice & flush. The issue with CL is that you can't run spacers on them to get that flush look with 19s. Now some wheels have offsets which get you close but I'm on the stock suspensions (i.e., not lowered) so 19s leave a slight "gap". Thankfully I have a couple of months to ponder, research and decide...hoorah, the fun is in the research!

HRE may be your best bet in that case.

Possibly, but after seeing these BBS F1-Rs I've got to seriously look into them. It will most likely be BBS F1-Rs or p101s.

19" HRE P101s in brushed dark clear are going one my black 997.2 TTS cab this afternoon! I have not lowered or modified my suspension and hopefully the shop will have professional pics done before the weekend and I'll post them shortly thereafter.

At least this will let you get an idea of how it looks and maybe help with your decision.

Much appreciated Nevermiss, it would most definitely help both on the brushed dark clear color on a black TTS (I was leaning towards brushed tinted clear) and the look in the wheel-well (i.e., gap on 19" vs. 20" on stock suspension). Thanks much! Can't wait to see the pics...congrats on a great wheel choice
