I'm having trouble finding a good brand of 19" track wheels to use on my 13 991 c2s. The track tire options at 20" are virtually nil. I don't want to spend a fortune (i.e. bbs, hre, etc.) becuase these things are likely to get torn up on the track and other than track dutry they will sit in the garage. Any ideas that others have used successfully would be very helpful. Thanks in advance.
If you want HRE quality but not HRE Forged price, we do have our FlowForm series wheels at a substantial discount compared to our Forged options. Would definitely put these on your list.

Thanks for all the replies. I'm new to this forum thing so I don't know how to PM, etc. I think I'm going to go with something like the Starkes to keep rpice down and not worry about tearing them apart.
1. Don't buy 2nd tier wheels for the track. Too risky. You don't want them cracking (or worse) at speed.
2. Go with 19s instead of 20s. Cheaper wheels and tires. RE-71s, MPSC2s, Nitto NT01s, etc. You want to go with 245-40-19 up front and 305-35-19 in rear. They'll be 1/2” shorter than the standard 20s, but they'll make the car sit a little lower. The only drawback is that your speedometer will be about 5% off. You'll think you're going 5% faster than you really are.
I found 19" Carrera classics from a 997S and they work great. Cheap and strong. Check out the Parts Marketplace here. There are lots of options. Even the good old Lobster forks would work well. Lightest 19" 997 wheel that Porsche offered...
