Default 18" Victor Wheels

How do they hold up? Decent build quality? I am hunting for some 18" and stumbled across a set of them in pretty nice condition. My first choice would be a set of Sport Classic II's (I believe that is what they are called), but have seen any sets close by. Thoughts would be appreciated.

Fine quality just on the heavy side. They're made and owned by TSW - major wheel manufacturer.

There are better rims lighter stronger used for the same money I picked up a set of HRE 540R for $1800 and a set of forgeline with tires for $1500 both sets in good condition and close enough to pass on a 20+ year old car

I almost pulled a trigger on a set of their wheels (different model) but ended up going with the Apex SM-10 wheels. IMHO they offer a perfect blend of weight, looks, price and a great warranty to boot.

I have been happy with mine. They did come with the car. I was comparing weight with my son's 350z aftermarket wheels with 275/18's vs my 295/18 and mine were lighter. I don't remember what make & model my son has. Picture is before coilovers. I am thinking of having them done in a bronze color? The Apex SM-10's are very nice, someday when I stop spending money on the rest of the car I might get a set.

My son has the same color 996 and has SM-10's on his. They do look good.

I will be looking at a set of 18" lightweights that were custom powder coated in Anthracite on Saturday and may go with them first. I may also pick up the Victors, as the wheels are almost new and the PS2's have about 75% left. I just have to convince the wife that this is an emergent need!

OZs are a pretty good option in case you’re looking at other options. I’m sure the Victor’s are fine.
