which one should i go for my white car: black RG5 or silver E88

pics would help if anyone wants to share..havent found any white with RG5

 

The RG5 is distributed for us in Europe by Cargraphic....so it gets my vote.

Here's a picture on a white Turbo...I can't find a pic on a GT3...but this should give you a good idea.

 

RG5 for looks, E88 for track performance.

 

BBS E88 for sure. Check out the GMG website, they have either BBS E88 or GMG wheels on their car!

 

Strictly out of curiosity, why the E88 over the RG5 for track performance?

thanks for sharing the pics !

 

You're very welcome.

For informational purposes...our RG5 is a fully forged 1 piece wheel. Front wheels weigh roughly 19.5 lbs each, and the rear wheels are approx. 22.1 lbs each. These weights are for our GT3-specific fitment, which is 19x9 (front) and 19x12 (rear). They are one of the lightest and strongest wheels available today, perfect for the track.

 

I'm assuming if he goes to the track that he'd get 18s--for the E88s I believe they're around 18 lbs a piece.
They're both great wheels--I like the RG5's look better (obviously I like Champion wheels ). I actually find the design of the E88 a bit busy--but they're super strong and light.

 

I think you are comparing two completely different wheels.

Both have great qualities and I have personally had both wheels on my GT2.

The Champion wheel is a great quality wheel although its more suited for a street application. ( IMHO)

The BBS E88 is a true motorsport race wheel and its built for racing purposes.


So not really a fair comparison in IMHO.

The one benefit of the E88 over the Champion is that you have the ability to build different sizes and offsets fairly easily. With the Champion you don't.

Again.. Both wheels are great and they really offer two different solutions. We distribute both brands of wheels and have had a lot of success with them.

thanks for the input ! I go 4-5 times a year at the Nordschleife to track my car and 2-3 times/year to real race tracks such as Le mans, Magny cours and Spa. i 'm looking for a set a wheels that i can use for road and track. i have read positive feedack on the forum about people that are using the E88 (aluminium center) for everyday and the RG5 is light and also can do the job fo track application. that's why i'm comparing both. I still keep the oem wheel anyway to use it for track..or street..i dunno

 

Made my choice
can some photoshop guru paint the wheel in black please

 

E88 IMHO - simply a great classic

I had a gold set on my 996-3 and the only caveat is that they are a pain in the a$$ to keep clean if that is a concern
