Need help! - 18" Wheel Suggestions / Reputable Vendors for Winter Setup

New to 6SpeedOnline.

New (to me) 997 Owner. '08 C4S Cab. Car has 19" Turbo wheels and I would like to get 18" wheels, preferably in 18x8 or 18x8.5 up front and 18x10 or 18x10.5 in the rear for putting on 235/40/18 and 265/40/18 Snow Tires for winter.

TireRack only has Cup4 wheels in a twist 5 spoke that I am not keen on. Would like something different for 5-6 months of the year.

Apparently the Victor Wheels 18" versions of the Stabil, Wurttenburg, and Zehn don't work with the brake calipers (according to Victor Equipment), though possibly the Kronen and Innsbruck do? . And it seems the consensus is to stay away from Wheel Dynamics though I do like their RS-808 and their GT3 replicas.

Any suggestions for 18" solution for the widebody C4S so that I can put narrower higher profile winter tires on would be awesome. Not having much luck so far and figuring out which 18" will or won't fit the hub and be within the right offset range. Would like a silver/brushed silver/clear brushed or a machined or gunmetal style. No black.

Thanks and looking forward to being part of the 6SpeedOnline forum community.

Talk to John at Wheel Enhancement. They carry pretty much all the OEM wheels, many aftermarket brands, and sometimes have some used sets too (I think).

As long as you don't have PCCBs you should be fine with certain 18" wheels.

Thanks Petza914. I gave them a call. Hopefully they call back. I didn’t think it would be this difficult to source options.
