Those look really cool!
I have the opportunity to buy some 19" Champion RS97 (silver/polished lip)
Or some Forgestar CF10 (bronze or gunmetal)
Or some OZ Ultraleggara HLT in bronze
I'm pretty torn, they are all roughly the same price as I would be getting the Champion's used. Any opinions? Car is black.

I know Champion makes quality wheels, but those are pretty darn inelegant and tacky IMO, like something a football player in Miami would put on their car.
Of the three, the Forgestars look best to me.

Astraelraen, here's another Champion option for you if you're looking for a spoke design that's more similar to the Forgestar and OZ. I'm sure they'll be more expensive than the other options, but also worth it.
Here they are in the original silver color on a black car (photos courtesy of Wheel Enhancement)
They look even better now with the fully polished and then clear powdercoated finish I currently have on them. They're the perfect amount of shine - not reflect the sun into your eyes bright like chrome or a fully polished but uncoated wheel, but brighter and better looking than the standard silver painted finish. The curve of the spokes from hub to face is also beautiful, especially the rear ones where there was more width to work with. They're a NB fitment, but an 11.5" width which is a better width to run wider rear rubber with, like a 305.
Here's what they look like now
Flash from camera in this dusk shot shows the reflectivity

and I'll work with you on the price a bit if you're interested.

Curious what the offset on those LM’s are.
I’m huge fan of the deep dish step lip and about to pull trigger on similar style on my C4S.
With everyone running 15mm spacers on stock 51mm offset, would think 36mm is doable on 19x11.

Got new old-school wheels :)
Got new old-school wheels
These are Starke SC18 from TireRack, bought for a 2010 Cayman fitment => these are my winter shoes for the 997.
They perfectly fill the wheel wells for my NB lowered car.
Tires could be a little fatter to look better, but I reused tires from my Carrera II wheels and they're fine.
