Like the title says, I'm looking for some 18" track wheels. Cheap track wheels Not in quality, but price. Possibly some raggedy oem wheels.

Any suggestions as far as offsets or possibly some OEM wheels that fit properly?

I don't really care what they look like.

OZ Alleggerita. 18x8.5 and 18x12. $1,700 for a set. I doubt they are as strong as CCW but they are much cheaper

I had allegritas on my last car for track wheels. Strong and super light. Priced right too.

Are there any oem wheels that will fit? I'm guessing the offsets from a 996 GT3 will not work. Is there anything in the Porsche lineup in 18 that will fit?

I've heard good things about Forgestars. There are a set of matte black ones in the FS section for under a grand! The seller is Mobonic, check them out.

I found that link. It's a good looking wheel. He is running them on a 997S. Do you think the offsets are the same?

Just a note from recent experience, the OZ wheels do not fit over the PCCB.

The forgestars are brought in blank and shaved to the offset that is needed and then drilled for the bolt pattern.

Let me know we are an official distributor of theirs.

CCW absolutly no question. Just call John and tell him you have a 997 GT3...he knows exactly what to do.

My CCW's are 9x18 and 12x18 running on 245-40-18 and 305-35-18 which are GT3 fittment...actually both the Carrera and GT3 are just narrow body cars.

Same offsets.

BTW...CCW's are forged wheels...super strong. $2800 new plus tires...you could get all new for right at $4000 easy. CCW is also just over in Daytona.
