Aftermarket Wheels for a 997?

I have an arctic silver 997 Carrera S with full aerokit, and looking at some 19" wheels. Can anyone recommend any wheels that would look good and still light weight?! The two wheels I have been looking at are black OZ ultralegerras and the ruger classics....

Any opinions/advise?

Thanks

These are the OZ Ultraleggera in black, which fits with the sporty look of the Aero Kit.

Kev car looks awsome love that wing goes perfect even without a body kit. Who makes the wing? Misha?

Here's a few options for you. All of our wheels are 100% forged 1-piece "monoblock" and are some of the lightest wheels out there. Anywhere between 18-19lbs for 8.5 or 9.0 inch front, and 20-21lbs for 11.5 or 12.0 inch rears.

The RS128 in 20 inch:


The RG5 in 19 inch:


And our lightest wheel, the RS98:

Love the Champion RG5 wheels on the red one above (but I'm pretty sure those are 20")!

Hey,

Wheels are a make or break purchase for most Porsche owners. You really need to research based on your preferences. We have provided 6speed'ers with tons of wheels over the past months and would like to be able to work with you in finding that perfect match for your car.

Let us know what wheel style, diameter, finish and overall budget you have in mind and we can get you a few options that will suit your needs.

If you want to remain light, you will most likely need to look into flat face or step lip forged alternatives! We could keep the weight down to high 19 or low 20 lbs. Cast wheels will be in the mid to high 20 lbs !

You can PM us, call us or email us at info@campionishop.com for additional help!

These are amazing wheels... they just don't photograph well, but look fantastic in person. Strong, light, and very aggressive looking. Most people use them for track, but I find their look complementing the racier side of the 997 quite well.

The RS98 is probably our most popular wheel, and it's also the lightest. In 19x8.5, the front wheel weighs in at 18.07 lbs, and the 19x11.5 rears comes in at 19.97. That...and they look pretty good. Here's a few glamour shots

Been waiting for a set of rs 98's for nb to come my way....no luck yet. Really good looking and as tom saidreally lightweight. Looking for a second hand set as new ones are a bit over my budget

It is amazing how weight gets overlooked for looks, until you realize how much of the difference weight of the wheel really makes on acceleration. Carrera Sport wheels were really holding my car back...
