Anyone have any lightweight wheels suggestions? I'll be using them mainly for the track. What kind of weight savings can I see vs stock. I had Fiske FM10s on my 964 and loved them, lightweight, well made and looked good.

Except for the 3-4 month wait on the BBS, I agree it is the best by far.

Where did you get the BBS wheels from, and who much? I know I where I can get a used set of Mag BBS wheels right now for $3200, but I've heard that you have to check them all the time for cracking.

The new ones are alum and expensive. I might be selling a set almost brand new.

Champion Motorsport RG5s are about the lightest you can buy. Stupid website, though: http://www.championmotorsport.com/

I called Wheel Enhancement a few months ago about the Manthey wheels. While very light (around 15-16 lbs each) they are very pricey. I was quoted $8K for a set from Wheel Enhancement (without tires, of course).
