How much do the wheels weight front and back. Do you have a pic of the brushed finish you can post?? Champion makes some very strong and light wheels keep up the great work! Any word on the new headers for the 997tt?

I've always liked Champion, but these don't do it for me at all! I agree with most as these look too busy. Maybe it takes time to get used to?

I am a fan of Champion's RG19 and in some way RG5 and have been waiting for a long time to see what Champion's version of a lip-less mesh style wheel would look like. Sorry to say but this new wheel looks only OK to me.

Just my 2 cents and I am aware that this is a matter of taste: Compared to the RG19, the RG57 is very squarish looking (more curvilinear spokes would fit the round lines of the 911 better), the spoke design as others have mentioned are needlessly busy, RG19's 7 forks (to me) look more "in motion" than RG57's 8 forks and are easier to clean, and lastly, the transition from the individual fork to the round center looks somewhat awkward/abrupt in the RG57.

A simple redesign of the RG19 (picture below) to make it lip-less would have been a much better choice.

Busy? No doubt. Wait til someone has to clean all those square lips from the brake dust. Simpler is better.

To me it looks a bit bulky. The rest of the car looks great though

car looks great. The wheel is a little too bulky and has to much going on for me. I like more of an open spoke look. BUt stil looks good. Are the wheels light weight?

I too like the simpler look. While we are discussing there stuff, what is the lightest champion wheel?
