I just picked up a black/black C4S today and while the stock rims aren't horrible by any means, I'd really like rims similar to the black ones with silver lip that are on many black 911 GTSes...but of course with lug spacing not center locks. Closest ones I've seen are on Tire Rack, the BBS CH-R, which are OK. Any other options? Thanks!

Edit: I also like the Techart Formula GTS wheels, those are probably at the top of my list currently.

When it comes to wheels, there are hundreds of choices. Check out the Porsche gallery (sticky) for some ideas.

I get that there are hundreds of choices, but I was specifically looking for others similar to the GTS wheels.

The Champion ones look nice too.

i think that the closest to the GTS wheels would be the BBS CH-R. But there are a lot of choices similar to that also. the champion wheels looks good too

You could always try SunCoast and see what they would charge for a set of the OEM wheels you really want. Thay are great to work with and typically the best price for OEM parts.

As far as I can tell, the GTS black wheels w/silver rim are centerlock only. I guess it wouldn't hurt to check and see though.

Thanks for all the tips so far, this is my first time buying after market wheels other than winter wheels where I looked for function over form.

I was about to post this.

D2Forged makes some of the best looking forged wheels around.

Send us a PM, let's talk about your needs and find a wheel tailored that will fulfill your objectives.

I put a set of ForgeLine GA3's on my black 09 C2S, 19x8.5/19x11.5. Matte finish gunmetal centers with hidden hardware and polished step lips.
