Default 997RS Wheel opinions wanted!

Gent's,

We have all been through it, touching up wheel paint blems and then eventually re-spraying stock wheels etc. It get's old when you are never satisfied with the re-spray quality. For me, I am convinced my RS needs to stay with red wheels the question is stock or aftermarket? I generally lean stock on stuff but I can't stand the price for stock wheels since they are a cast wheel unless I can find a deep discount somewhere (love the stock pattern, fits the car perfect) or do a set of Forgeline GAR1 CL forged in red at a 2/3 of the price and much better quality obviously. Throw me some general opinions for fun, I'm curious..

PS. And yes, I have done BBS Motorsport E07's and they flat out don't look right with the Aqua Blue IMO. If it was white or sliver etc. it would be different.

Thanks in advance-

Mj

Big fan of GA1Rs so if the BBS above are out of budget, these would get my pick. Also a fan of the GMG 130R, though finding a set will be pretty difficult.

Now that is an option I hadn't considered! For some reason I'm used to those in the two standard colors only. Well done, Tye. This forum is useful

Yep, all the usual wheel suspects are showing up on this thread. Funny how we all know the wheels that work. Always liked the 130R's they are scarce, pretty similar to GE1's from Forgeline.

BBS forged monoblocks are really cool.

If you want a set of Silver stock wheels, Let me know.

Thanks Flat. Your GAR1R's are perfect and your color combo is perfect. Like them better than F1-R's

Thanks Rick, Now I remember why my first GT car was white, so many wheel combos work with them! It's either BBS mono's or GAr1's in red...
