I like the stock wheels a lot. The 991 GT2RS stock wheels that is.

408s are expensive for a reason.
They were (still are) the best 18” OEM wheels you could get on a 996.
And looks are subjective……but they’re also the best looking

Haha, I forgot to say that Arctic Silver is the best color.

Seriously, I think it’s the 993 owners who are paying a premium for the hollow spoke twists.
They want a set if their 100K+ 993 is missing the 408s that’s listed on the build sticker.

I've always felt the MyO2 was an underrated wheel. So simple, light, and strong.

I also had the gold BBS STi wheels on my former aspen white WRX wagon until some 17 year old that was texting rear ended me on the freeway when traffic came to a stop and totaled my WRX. I still miss the WRX wagon.
