Looking for opinions on the best track wheels for a GT2. Strength, weight and reasonable cost are priorities over bling. Actually, I don't really care what they look like as they'll be track only. I'd rather not put any $$$ in looks.

I haven't bought track wheels for a 996 and am a bit old school on my wheel knowledge (BBS, Fikse, volks = good lightweight track wheels). What else should I look for?

I assume 18inch tire options are still better (hoosiers)?

 

Quality: BBS, CCW, Fikse, Kinesis, Volk (In no particular order)


Cost: CCW, OZ, Volk (In no particular order)

 

Thanks HC.

 

I will add that there may be some problems at Fikse and Kinesis went under I think. So finding replacement wheels may be difficult for them. BBS are going to cost a GRIP!!!! Unless you can find a used set. The OZ wheels are very affordable, as are the Volks, and the Volks are crazy strong (however ugly they may be on a Porsche IMO).

CCW is the easy choice for me if you want custom widths.


New brand forgestar has gotten good reviews from track guys and is sold by forum vendors here at TERMENDOUS deals.

 

CCW's

CCWs are on the way for mine... Along with some Hoosiers slicks thanks to Al Norton!

Who sells Forgestar's? And I'd like to know about their deals!

 

I got the ones with Hoosier slicks, you got the R6's on the prettier black wheels.

 

+1 CCW is the all rounder winner. The below will require spacers




don't think the volks come in offsets/widths for the turbo in 18.

Enkei's NT03 +M has more offset/width options than te37. http://www.enkei.com/spec_charts/NT03+m.pdf


Or Enkei's new wheel RC T4 http://www.irs.co.jp/oversea/products/es/index.html

 

Volk TE37, ugly but works nice

 

MadNess,


The Enkei wheels don't come wider than a 10 inch in the rear. Not a smart choice on a Turbo or GT2. But would be nice if they did.

 

Auto Talent - Although good luck getting them to answer PM's and phone calls. They don't do much of that.

And Redline motorsports or something their called. If you search the name you'll see their advertisements.

 

FYI, Fikse is back up and running - they were acquired by another company recently.

 

You cant go wrong with CCW for the price and custom Width's / Offsets..

 

yes the NT03 in 10.5 only but the TCR4 comes in 11J
