I don't think you can go wrong with either the Fikse or BBS, although I don't know if you can get the BBS mag wheels in 19s.
Please stop me!

The BBS website states that the LM wheel is available for the 996 TT in 8.5 x 19 (725 euros) and 11 x 19 (805 euros).

Is this wheel the same wheel you are talking about?

Thanks!

I stand corrected. Sorry for the mis-information, it wasn't intentional. I think the fact BBS is offering these wheels for the TT is new. I thought they were only available for the narrow body cars. If you want to be different, get the LMs, as I don't think anybody else has them on a 996TT. Personally, Fikse's are my all-time favorite wheels. You really can't go wrong with any of your choices. Basically, it comes down to whether or not you want the hardware/bolts exposed or not.

Good Luck!

Do not forget about similar wheel designs from Kinesis like the K28's and K18's. Just as strong and light as the Fikse but a little less money.

I know that Brumos Racing uses Fikse wheels for their cars and they also recommend them to their customers. Also if you want to have a polished lip with black centers think about powder coating, looks great and will last for ever.

Now that is a proper look for a sports car like the 911. Just swap out the center caps from gold to silver BBS lettering and you're set.

Tuuner - between the Kahn and Fikse, my vote's for the Kahns. Don't know much about the rim, though. And I like the bolt design.

What about the Sportec rims? Or the AVUS multi-spoke rims (Evan had posted them in black with a chrome lip) - those are hot.

So many choices.
