So I have found myself trying to change things up on my tt. Currently running the stock hollow spokes in silver on a black (not basalt) car. I have found myself thinking of doing the fully blacked out look, so I bought a 2nd set of hollow spokes to paint. I have also considered some other setups, such as CCWs. I am specifically looking at the sp500s in 18x8.5 and 18x11.5.

Things I am looking for:
I am definitely looking to retain the performance of a 18" wheel and shave some extra weight off the car, so not really considering 19s. The stock wheels have spokes that go to the edge of the wheel (no lip), so they look decent in 18s. I think lipped 18s might look too smalll, but I'm open to anything (obviously, I dont want the car to look bad)

I'm not really looking to spend 4k on wheels, so I figured you guys would have some very good suggestions. Pictures of your recommended setups would be very helpful. Anyone running CCWs on here? Any positive or negative reviews?

Thanks in advance.

 

i'm running CCW's, 18 x 9 and 18 x 12... and i love them for track use, light and you have a ton of tire options. only thing is that they fade into a purplish brown over time, so get used to that. i'm thinking of spraying mine, but not sure i want to go down that route yet.

 

got any larger pics that I can see!?! Fantastic. What did they cost you?

 

i'm out of town, but i'll take some pics for you when i get back next week... i'm running 18 x 9 up front, 18 x 12 in the rear... def lighter than my previous set up.

 

awesome. I will be looking forward to it!

 

18" Volk TE-37's.

Light and strong, I think Vivid and Tireack have a few colour options.

 

Want some HRE's? PM me if interested...they are 18's.

 

I have black hollow spokes -- factory, I think -- and don't like them. Think long and hard.

 

Check out Wheel Enhancement website------------------->

They have pictures of their wheels on many different on cars.

Mark,

Here's my current set up.

What tyres are you running on those? No rubbing? What is your suspension/ride height set up?

 

What color is your car? What don't you like about them specifically? I'm planning on going that route on my Seal Gray turbo.

 

The GT3 style look really good to me. They look a lot better in black on a black car than I would have thought. Are they factory wheels (painted or powdercoated) or are they replicas?
