What are you guys' favorite wheels porsche/non-porsche? Mine are Flik Wasps, kinda like BBS. My friend has a pair on his GTi and they look sick.

I really like fikse fm5s & fm10s. They cost more than my car though. They are forged, lightweight, and the factory can repair them if you hit the wall. Also, they can do different finishes for you so you can get the black centers if you want. If I ever get a tS, I'll put these on.

FM10



FM5


And, to stay somewhat on-topic, they will make them in early or late offset for you.

Another option for early offset cars are rims made by HRE. I checked out a used 16" set of these that looked a lot like BBS rims, (but my car has late offset).

What;s the offset? Your car has a 23.3 mm offset. You can go bigger (55mm for example) with proper spacers. Check the back of the rim to see if there are the letters "et" followed by a number. That's the offset.
