Default Champion Wheels GT3

I have an opportunity to purchase a set of Champion RG19 wheels. I have always admired the Champion wheel line great looking and light weight. . Does anyone know if these wheels would fit the GT3? I am concerned since the wheels on the GT3 are 18's Also do the wheels require any additonal maintenance (i.e. polishing) then the normal GT3 wheel??

Thanks in advance.

Don't put 19's on a GT3!

Do yourself a favor, stick with 18".

Stick with 18s; the GT3 suspension was designed around them. In addition, I don't think the RG19s are made in the proper offset for our cars; IIRC the only 19 that Champion makes for our cars is the RG97.

Thanks guys I was fearing that. A local club member ordered them for his 996, never used them and I had the opportunity to pick them up at a really good price. Since I have considered ordering 18 inch Champions it seemed like a good idea.
