HRE Flow Formed 01 only comes in 19"
Forgestar CF-5V only comes in 19"

Any of you with 18" what wheel size and offset and what size tires?

Any recommendations regarding lugs? Does anyone put Wheel Locks on their Porsche?


Would love to see some more pictures (and yes I have searched here and online first)

THANKS

I have a set of OZ in GT2 sizesfs on RL, should post more here too.

Wheels only, no tires.

here's a couple other "looks" I've had for your reference to see what you like.

Go with 18's, studs, nuts, and no center caps if you if you track.
No locks unless you leave it in questionable places.
19's make stock 330 brakes look small, ride a little harsher, and give more tires choices.

I like the HRE R101 as well as the Forgestar F14 and CF5

http://www.forgestar.com/wheels/coll...ck-series/cf5/
http://www.forgestar.com/wheels/coll...ck-series/f14/

I like the Avant Garde M550, M580, M590 but they don't come in 18"
http://www.avantgardewheels.com/m550.php
http://www.avantgardewheels.com/m580.php
http://www.avantgardewheels.com/m590.php

Forgeline CF3, DE3, VX3 also look gorgeous, but they are $1,600 each.

Would love to see some more pictures (and yes I have searched here and online first)

THANKS

Forgeline are very expensive but worth every $$$. These are 18x9 and 18x12 zx3r. 18" are the way to go IMO.
