19" after-market rims on 991.2...?
#17
I've had awfully good luck with Forgeline. You get to build out exactly what you want, with plenty of guidance from serious Porsche racers. After years of trouble with factory wheels (and a very bad set of HREs), I've had zero pothole breaks, cracks or any other problems. Since each set is custom-built, it takes a while. I have them on my Jeep and AMG, had them on my Boxster, and will get them for the 911.

Many thanks for this.
You'll note that Dan Nagy also likes !! We're pretty much 'in the same boat' speccing C2 manuals and appear to share the same taste in wheels: ie. referencing past Porsche wheels.
The 'Sport Classics' look, as you say, great. A couple of questions: (1) did you source these from your OPC or an independent and (2) can you get the rear rims to suit the new offsets on the Gen 2: ie. ET 76 ??!!
BBS Germany seem to be recommending their CH-R wheel as their 'only' 19" option.... but that confuses me since these wheels do not come in ET76 and are not 'split' , so can't be re-jigged for this latest offset.
I have to assume that they've physically tried the CH-R already on the Gen 2 and found that its ET50 still fits....which is either (1) encouraging that it's the design more than the offset which is key to fitment or (2) someone's made a mistake. It's all a bit confusing especially if you want to stick with 19" for ride comfort....

Hey, its always fun yet challenging to pick the right wheels for your ride. We do have a U.K Distributor and we visit there yearly for our Vossen Owner's Meet to connect with owners.
We do make 19 's as well in a variety of styles and production methods. Flow Formed, Vossen x Work 2 piece wheels and our Vossen Forged Series.
Some examples of mesh wheels below in 20" sizes. SEMA is next week and we are debuting some amazing new designs which might be closer to what you are looking for. There are some amazing choices in this thread.
Good luck!
For Vossen Work, I assume the VWS-1 would be most favorable. Its offered in a vast array of colors, finishes and fitments.

The Gen 2 is a bit more problematic because of the ETs Porsche is now using on the rears for the C2/2S...Plus, there seems to be a range of Fuchs-replica manufacturers out there who may or may not adhere to the highest standards. Any kind of steer would be appreciated. Many thanks in advance.

Totally understand. Good luck with your choice!
