AMT makes a 19x8.5 and 19x12 for the 997 GT3, these will work on the std narrowbody. Not as cheap as the CCWs though.

HRE can make a 12" in any of their 3pc styles, including the Competition lightweight series.

Do you remember the offsets of the 12" wheel with the 315s? Were you able to lower the car without problems? How is tire wear with that size? And Dave are you saying an 11" wheel is considered optimum meaning performance wise over an 11.5-12" wheel? Would a seasoned tracker fare better with a 315 on 12" or 305 on 11.5 or 11"? I do want to track my car soon and will be far from "seasoned" but knowing I have a good set up will have that placebo effect LOL. I will check out CCW for sure.
AJ, what I"m saying is that the maximum recommended rim width for a 305 tire is 11.5" and 11" for the 295's. If you go to TireRack even Michelin recommends only a 11.5" width wheel for the MSC's that come on the 997 GT3 both narrow and wide body. Yet they obviously work on a 12" wide wheel as witnessed by the GT3.
I personally like as wide as possible.

When I ordered my Carrera S Cabriolet I was fortunate to go through so many delays from Zuffenhausen that during the wait they introduced the Carrera 4/S and the Carrera Sport wheels. They fit the narrow body perfectly with the 305 tires. (I looked again having just washed the car a few minutes ago.)
I had thought myself about picking up another set of rims in the GT3 design,--8.5 fronts and 12 in rears (you can never have too much rear rim on a 911) but am guessing that the weight will only get higher and higher!
