Why not do it properly and get new gaskets and bolts? Be VERY **** with torquing the bolts though. (ask me how I know ->

Anyone know how the weight of the rims discussed above compared to stock hollow twists? Think I recall reading they were the lightest?

Yup.

New gaskets and rings even though I have the updated rings
New Valve stems
New bolts
New BBS stickers

Recycled the washers though...

While I love BBS mesh type wheels, I can't stand up much convex wheels (centre) but either semi flat or concave (usually lower ET) wheel has flatter or more concave look.

I like both, but as shown, I would keep the Fiske. Black wheels just doesn't make justice...black color doens't let express the desing of the wheels.

I too like them better in silver however I am a five spoke simpleton as Mike J has described.

I just helped a friend pick Roderick RW5 wheels in Matte Black over Avante Guard Ruger Mesh for his 01 996TT

http://www.roderickwheels.com/rw5-wheels.html

Got them shipped overnight from Cali because he wants to show them off on Saturday's run.

Sorry to hijack, but does anyone know where to get Matte black center caps with a colored crest as shown in the photo?
