Kinesis F110 or Champion RS98???

I've been searching for wheels for my upcoming slate TT and not having much luck. I really like the look of the GT3 wheel, but would prefer forged and they are actually a bit heavier than the TT wheels.

My favorite wheel that I've seen is the Champion RS67 but it only comes in 20". I don't want 20". Also don't really want anything that would require spacers. I'm one of those guys who would say "bling" at some of the more popular wheels posted here LOL. Sorry, it's just not my thing. I don't think a car's wheels should be the first thing that your eyes are drawn to.

I know these two wheels are very similiar but I give a very slight edge to the Kinesis. I also believe they weigh even less than the champions.

I was also wondering about the Fiske profil 13 but may be just a bit too busy for me, although I would look at that further.

No 20", no highly polished/chrome look (not even a fan of the huge lip, but that gives me even less choices). Anything else comes close to that description that you can think of please let me know.

Chris, you're going to drive yourself mad trying to decide what wheels to get just as I did! From my experience going through that, my advice for you would be to WAIT until you actually get the car before getting wheels. Yeah, hard to do I know but it'd really give you a better idea of what to go with after seeing the car in person. Photoshopping wheels onto the car doesn't do the trick.

I considered the Fikse Profil 13 and was able to find a local reseller with those wheels in stock. They're as you said, a bit too busy and looks too "chunky" in person IMHO. Go for something that has a "lightweight" yet strong look. The RS98 doesn't appear to be available in 19" but the F110's are available in 19". Okay, I'll shut up now...

Love the RF67's. Saw them in the gunmetal color at Wheel Enhancement. By far one the best wheel for the 997TT, IMO. Also heard they might be doing a 19" version. Might want to look into that. Call Dave at Wheel Enhancement.

Yeah, I saw that and they look very good. Got a little freaked out when I saw that the TPMS would have to "strapped on". doesn't sound very elegant. NOt sure if that should be a deal breaker.

Spoke to Dave and asked that same question. He said he has not heard that they are thinking of doing a 19". I'd buy those today if they were!

Kinesis is no more, at least as we know them. They were bought out by some bling bling crap wheel company.
