Why would you want less rim width in the rear, no matter the weight?

And as you've probably noticed, these wheels are 10 in the rear.

Koro's car runs 8.5" and 11". I talked to them about those wheels, but they ran out of stock.

I'm going to contact them again.

They run 265/35R18 and 295/30R18 MPSC.

Fong, you should check out Forgeline too. I'm very happy with my new wheels.

They are slightly different than the one piece BBS forged magnesiums that Manthey and BBS Motorsport sell. Incidentally, those absolutely do fit the mk2 GT3 AND they also fit on a Cup car (the center hole is sized for centerlocks). They are also different size: 9's and 11's. In case you are wondering, they retail for ~$8,000/set.
