Got $2k to spend for wheels. I'm looking for 18x8.5 18x11 or 18x10 combo what wheels to get?

Something track/aggressive, 18's only, no chrome, silver or black

I was thinking of getting the Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.3

Here's a 18x8.5 and 18x10 combo.

There are a few styles out there that you can get with that amount. I wouldn't do those team dynamics, they are ugly IMHO. If your going for weight over look then yeah they might be the rim for you. I managed to find 19's that are slightly heavier then my stock 18 twists and they give the car a nice aggressive look. What rims are on your car in your avatar pic? From the small caption the car looks great with those wheels on it.

Have you looked at Victor Equipment wheels? They have some nice styles in black that should fit your budget. I like the Innsbruck wheel and the Zehn wheel that they make.

I agree, victor equipment makes some nice wheels for a good price. There is a set on CL by me for 1400. It's the le mans wheels

There's a rennlist member who recently upgraded his OEM wheels on his 996 C4S to the Zehn, and they look very good. They really updated the look of the car.

I like both Victor Innsbruck and the Zehn and settled for the Innsbruck. 19x8 fr and 19x11 rr. Had to roll rear fenders since Victor only offers the 19x11 with a et55.

If you were actually going to the track, I'd consider OZ alleggerita, Volk TE37 for light weight track wheels. I'm not sure the Victor Equipment wheels are up to the task of track duty. Some of their wheels are also heavier than stock.

Agreed. I can do them for less than 2k. Weight vs. strenght, they are one of the best value wheels out there. Please call me

Are they gloss black or satin black finish? I'm interested if they are gloss. Also gloss red.

Call Eli over at Wheel Dynamics (323-262-7365) in Monterey Park Southern California. He carries Victor wheels and will cut you a really good deal for tires and wheels. He is not a hard sell guy, and he really knows wheels and tires. He drives a Porsche 996
