How many sets of wheels for your 996TT

OK -- just checking if I might be going overboard here. I've got 2 sets of wheels already (OEM Turbo Twist with PS2, and OEM GT3 with PS Rib). Now I'm possibly interested in a 3rd set -- maybe with some Hankook V12s. At some point, I really only need one set right?

Currently....OEM Turbo Twist, OZ Alleggerita, and Kinesis F110.

A set of 18" Forgeline are in transit.

So we are almost in line with each other

How do you like your OZ set? Did you get 10" or 12" for the rears? I'm looking at those (black or anthracite) as a possible option.

Hope to see you on a drive again soon!

I got them with the 12" rears.

The 10" ones won't fit the rears properly.

I'll be unloading these sometime next week, so if you're interested, let me know.

Pics I posted on another thread:

Since it looks like you guys got experience with so many sets of wheels. I'm looking into getting into my second set for my C4S in 19". I figured this was the best place to get my answer since my C4S fitment will be the same as the Turbo. Will I run into issues running 235/35 front and 305/30 rears? Do I need to put a 25 side wall because of the 4-wheel drive? What offsets are you guys running? Thanks in advance.

For my purposes, I'd like to have one set with dry-race tires, one with wet race tires,
and one with Advan Neovas or Hankook RS-3s for the street. Right now I only have
the dry race and street. If anyone has an set of ugly curb-rashed 18" solids they don't
want, let me know. They'll have an interesting rest of their life.... Driven hard and
put away wet...

Two.

Black OEM Turbotwist with summer tires
Inexpensive wheels with Dunlop snow tires.

Unfortunately, the latter seem to get more use.
