Default Best new wheel | rims for 997.1?

Hi all,

This is killing me. Looking for a new set and could use the advice!
Going on a .1 with PCCB and want to run stock tire widths. Looking for a track (less street) duty wheel / rim.

19x8.5 or 9
19x12 no spacers please.

E88s in gold?
OZ Ultraleggera HLT?

Please help me decide!

gold centers look best. Silver would also look great on white car.
(My centers came black but would rather gold)

18" E88 are my favorite with R tires.

PCCB callipers are the sme size as the 997.1 Cup car calipers i believe? They accept Cup car size discs and pads?

Gold centers here in the east give me an "LA" type feel. Black centers look mean. I did not know E88s came black...

Have a near new set of e88s. Black centers. They fit .1 RS 5 lug. Will not work on the narrow bodied cars. PM if interested.

sorry - not meant to hi-jack, my '08 NB was originally a PCCB car, previous owner switched to iron though I ma not sure what wheels to consider - do I still need to look at wheels that accommodate PCCB only (due to the calipers)?

Yes you would @pissedpuppy. I would suggest E88. It really is the only track based wheel option. If you are tracking on and off, but are more street based, I would suggest OZ Ultraleggera HLT. There are not many options out there or us.
