Default Black C4s wheels Ultraleggera or CH-R?

I keep flip flopping on what wheels to get for my 08 C4s. My car is black and I like the look of both the OZ ultraleggera and the BBS CH-R. I'm definitely going 19's and I'm leaning towards silver.

BBS:



OZ:




The OZs come in a couple different offsets that create different amount of concave, you can see the difference in some of the pictures. My preference is with some concave in them.

Another question is if I should go with 12's in the rear, and if so what size tires?

yes, I like all the mesh style wheels. Rugar, BBS and HRE. They all have things I like. BBS is BBS, Rugar looks to have more concave and HRE I like how the fingers extend.

I do love the classic Motorsport look of the mesh style.

Those Leggera look nice. I always liked the look of the OZ. I had a set of suppraleggrra on a WRX. Loved them.

is it lowered? Rear wheels look like they fill the wells.

Between BBS & OZ - the BBS' all the way. Far more respected among Porsche owners & the wheel industry in general. There's a reason why Porsche taps into BBS to build so many of their OEM wheel models - because the quality matches what Porsche quality has always been.

Give us a holler when you're ready to order

BBS > OZ any day ..... not even a fair comparison.

Thanks! Yes, lowered on Eibach pro-kit. Well, at least I was able to provide some reference on what the OZ wheel specs/offsets/tire size will look like on a C4S.

Mods are always a personal preference. At the end of the day you just want to be able to look at your car and feel blessed and excited to own it.

Looks like the BBS sales reps have spoken, so you are probably better off with BBS. Best of Luck!

I have polished, forged 19" Champion RS171s for sale. These are the exact wheels






Here's what they look like on a black car in their original silver painted finish, but the polished then clear powdercoated finish I had done to them is much nicer, totally unique, and more durable.
