You missed Champion's. They come in Porsche sizes w/the correct offsets and they are forged (very strong and very light). I have the RG5 in GT3 sizes and offsets on my car (the fronts and rears weight less than 20 lbs. each).

Here's a variation of the BSA wheels on Sandoval's yellow ride. Steppin' up to 18's (don't laugh).

Russ - the wheels look good. I am not really "in to" painted wheels, but I like yours. Have you thought about painting your brake calipers red? The red would really stand out and bring added dimension to the nice looking wheels. Just a thought.

That pic of Russ's car is actually old. He bought red paint to do the calipers as you suggested. However, he decided to do a couple racing stripes up and over the hood and down the back of the car, so it looked more like a Shelby Mustang. By the time he was done, he was out of red paint.

Maybe next weekend.

I'm somewhat ambivalent about painted wheels as well, but with the machined lip I think it works. Thanks. I was thinking the same about red calipers. It would look good sitting there, but I also was digging the all black look. I'll have to paint the rotor hats now though.

Rosen... shut the hell up.
