Default Center Lock Wheel Options for 997.2 WB

What options does a person have for CL wheels for wide body? Would be nice to find some 18" wheels that fit perfectly. Currently running the stock 19" RS CL wheels. Would like to get into 18" for track & winter fun.
Have been searching but can't find anything that would fit properly.
Cheers
Walt

Off the top of my head I'd say try Forgeline - but you probably thought of that already. Considering that it is a WB you obviously have fitment issues. I don't think spacers are an option with CLs. I wonder if it was ever even considered for a production GTS w/ CLs to have 18s? If you don't get a good answer here you could always call a race shop that sets up wide body Porsches for competition. Again, off the top of my head, there is one in Campbell, CA called BR racing. They do service and race set up and are very familiar (unlike many shops) with CL wheels (might be faster and easier than searching and parsing through old threads).

Best of luck!

OZs. BBS. Check out the GT3 forum. The RS guys have explored this ad nauseum.

GT3 is NB but the RS is WB. Even more so up front since it has the over-fenders there.

I have seen a couple GTS owners running O.Z. Challenge CLs in 18" fitment for track use.
