The CCW 1-piece are the strongest wheels I've ever run on this car.

John at ccwheel.com made them to my specs. Front are 10" and Rear are 12". He says they're stronger than the CCW Classic wheels.

These are the best value/quality available for a P-Car. They cost me half of what I paid for the BBS MotorSports wheels.

Tires are 285/30R18 front and 315/35R18 (1" taller) rear.

I doubt you remember me, but I used to autox in NJ in a yellow boxster S a few years ago. You gave me some great advice during a few of the events. A few months ago I sold the boxster and bought a GT3 that looks just like yours . Here are some old pictures of your car I found on my computer.

Rad, I agree that the Corsairs, C14's are awesome. I have 2 sets of 10 x 18's for my M3 and they have gone sideways over curbing, hit potholes on the OLOA and are as straight and true as when I got them. Weight is a little heavier than Fikse's app 22# vs 20# but I got 2 sets of the CCW's and had enough money left to buy tires for the same cost of the 1 set of Fikse's. A big heads up for John and his service. If bling is your thing the Corsairs are not for you as the finish is not pristine with machining marks visible.

What is done to your car to land you in SM2?

I think the operative question is......"what ISN'T done to the car?"

Check out my thread on suspension musts from last year and you will get a better idea from his answer

The rest of us aspire to the suspension setup he has
