I use Forgeline wheels and hoosiers on my Cayman. Not exactly sure what set-up you would need for the 997TT but you can check them out at www.forgeline.com

265 for the front? That might be a little much! How about 996 turbo wheels?

Standard brakes or Ceramics?

I'm casting my vote for OZ Allegerita in 18 x 8.5 front and 10" rear. With these a run a Hoosier R6 in 245/35 18 front and 295/30 18 rear. This keeps things from rubbing and won't cook the AWD. It's a proven, lightweight setup (tires at least, wheels are still on the boat) that grips great and won't set you back a fortune, either.

PM for shipping info. I can ship into Russia for you.

If you want the lightest, just pick up some Dymags.

The Forgelines are a great product and they can make 18" to fit these TTs in a custom offset a d width. In the ZX3R design the front wheels will weigh 20.5 and the rears will be 21.5 in 18"....which is pretty good!
