I'm very lucky to have BBS RS-GTs and a set of Champion RG-5's. You don't necessarily have to have $3k saved up. Just keep an eye out on used ones if you are ok with saving 40-50% off new.

I'll keep an eye out for you. You don't have a c4s by chance? There were a couple pretty good recent deals on the wb offsets.

OK, I may have figured out how to add photos. Again, these are the 993 twists in chrome. I like the larger openings much better than my 996 twists.

I like these for obvious reasons...

Hi all from a new user
Anyone tried Fuchs wheels on 996? Only found this small picture which is not telling much http://www.fuchsfelge.de/fileadmin/u...6er_18Zoll.jpg
Not sure if they fit or not... And personally would like to go down to 17" since better ride.

Modern Fuchs are awesome, but $1500 each is pretty steep.

As others have rightly suggested, the '02 lightweights:



OR... if you want forged... the CCW C10 is perfection:
