What did you order for wheels. I am going to get a set of black but unsure what to get my car is white. I was thinking BBS like the cup cars.

Dymag wheels offer better performance benefits than PCCB regarding unsprung/rotating weight reduction, and at a cheaper price. However, Dymag + PCCB is much better.

Black wheels will look beautiful on a Seal Grey car.

What's the difference between Seal and Meteor grey?

Meteor to my eye is a little more green.

there is a guy on here who just purchased the dymag wheels and had them powder coated black for his Atlas Gray car. This, in addition to the PCCB brakes already on the car, and I will leave him to rave about the handling improvements.

Matt C,
I just ordered a set of all black 18" Fikse Profil 5S from CDOC for my 997 GT3. If you want Fikse call them. Talk to either Mark or McKensie. They know what to get. Just don't be copying me now!! Ha.Ha. Besides you already have too many fun toys - just be happy with your 2 Cup cars already.
