Wheel suggestions

Can anyone recommend 18" polished wheels for a 996 GT3 that are as light or lighter than the stock wheel? (Also need to be strong enough to qualify for track use)

I know a lot of people that use CCW, they are light and priced well. They also look really nice.

Thanks Chasen1211

It looks the fronts are 8" X 19" and the rears are 11" X 19" and that they will fit C2, C4 and GT3.

+1 on CCWs. I used them for many years on my 380 hp 3rd gen RX-7, and for the two years I tracked the GT3. If you go CCWs, and intend to use them on the street, make sure you tell John that they will be dual-purpose wheels. That way they'll be polished. Otherwise, for track use, machining marks are left.

My as-new Fikse Profil 13s in 18x9 et 51 and 18x12 et 64 built for 997 GT3 with a pretty fresh set of Hoosiers may be available. Let me know if interested (I have 1 too many sets of track wheels).
