Default Best wheel for a C4S?

Looking for some opinion and pics of wheels you would choose to put on a black C4S.

Car is lowered, so offset needs to be considered.

Looking forward to your feedback.

BBS RS/GT, either finish. They look great and are light.

i'm fond of the 996tt hollow spokes. i had mine powdercoated dark gray, but i'm thinking about going back to the stock silver. i like the way the wheels stick all the way out, without the "deep-dish" look.

I love my 996 TT Hollows for both looks and weight difference. Plus, with the extra wheel width at the rear you can go 235/295 without rubbing with typical lowering and no spacers.

@ David in LA,

Yes - these are Gemballa rocker panels. The car was ordered this way and went directly from Porsche to Gemballa. Besides the rocker the car also got a full Gemballa CF package and yellow seat piping.
