My vote is BBS RE. (About the same $$ as LM & RS-GT's but it seems they're not nearly as popular, which makes me like them even more. They're as light as anything (almost) too.)

If I had a WB, I'd definitely go with the GT3 wheels, (see Scott's Arena Red above) heavy, but I only drive on the street.... If you track, then you probably want to look at BBS RS-GTs REs or LMs.

Thanks Mike,
The wheels are Factory Take offs from a 04-05 996 Turbo. weight not sure they are on the heavy side vs the hollow spokes that came with the car. sizes are 18x8 et 50 and 18x11 et 45.
The C2S, C4S and TT cars can't use the same offsets as the 996GT3 because it was not a wide body like the 996 Turbos and GT2.

What do you guys think about using the 02 Carrera 5 spoke and using a 28mm spacer on the rears?
It works...just using spacers always gives me pause. Not that it should, but wanted some opinion on the subject.
I have those wheels on my Cab and they absolutely look awesome.
