Sorry everyone else.
Thank you for including the Works guys! Soooo I inquired about a set of Desmond Regamaster EvoII and ICBmotorsports responded to the inquiry email with "contact us again in 2-3 weeks". Is that good? I have no idea but we'll see in 2-3 weeks... they build 5x130 in 19"s but not 18s. If they say yes... I'll see about prices. Think those wheels will look really really nice on our NB 996s.

I had VS-XX on my car before the BBS.

I think BBS E88s will always be at the top of my list. Especially on .2 cars. That being said, I'm still partial to Fikse wheels. Good racing history and era correct designs. I have a set of FM5s, FM10s, and Profil 13s. Below are the profil 13s on my car. I'm considering swapping them out for Forgeline GA3rs with gold faces. The Profil 13s are hard to part with though. They look so good in motion.

Depending on car color and stance, but my faves, in no rank order (forgive me not picking just one):
1. Carrera II for nb…simple, light and strong…hard to not love and easy to clean
2. GT3 18s for duh GT3…just so right for the legend
3. Formula, TE37, E88 never look wrong on a 996
4. Turbo, C4S hollow twists are just awesome for period look and weight on wb
5. Ruf on a Ruf

…and I’m still around Chunk.

Sorry to drag up an old-ish thread, but did ICB ever get back to you? A set of 18-inch gunmetal or bronze Regamasters on my Arctic Silver 996.2 C2 would be the ultimate. 17s would be fine, but I don't know if the 964/993 fitment they offer would work.
