I emailed Bill at Rennworks. The wheel on the picture above only comes in Magnesium.

Cary,
I'm not saying you're wrong, b/c you certainly are the man, but according to Manthey, their magnesium road wheels are made specifically for them by BBS Motorsport and it is the first time Motorsport has honored such a request.

You can use them, but you will need a spacer on the rears.

Greg, ...When they say "road wheels" that would have to be a TUV/DOT wheel and the racing mag wheels are not. They might be talking about the inexpensive cast wheel or their wheel might have a slightly different offset...

Cary,
I can't seem to find any info on whether this wheel is TUV approved or not, but I'm quite certain they were referring to their forged magnesium wheel. So maybe it is a different offset or something.
I've attached a pic. You should be able to see that it says "Forged Magnesium BBS for Manthey Motors" on the edge of the wheel.
I honestly don't know what the deal is with this wheel. Maybe Rennworx can shed some light on this?

it will look a little wierd cause those wheels are ugly. reminds of stock CSL's wheels, but with a fake center lock. there are so many other lightweight wheels that fit the TT and look good doing it

EXACTLY!! The wheels on their cup car (the blue and white GMG car just above) are not the Manthey's but the motorsport wheels.. I think they look pretty much the same don't they?? I swear I'm not trying to take business from Manthey I just think they are basically the same wheels.
The Wheels on the GT2 are Champion 19's Fabryce post a picture of the GT2 with the new 5 spoke 18's ...... please
PS I have to agree the fake center locks just don't cut it.....
