Default Which wheels for 997 GT3?

My 997 GT3 is sleeping now in NW PA and I am anxiously awaiting spring.

My question is what is the best wheel for a somewhat daily driver a several track events each year?

My current choices are BBS LM-R or Champion RS 98s.

Would like some opinions.

Thanks in advance.

Mike

Make sure you can get the rears in 12" width. Some of the fitments for BBS's are only 11" or even 10".

LMRs won't fit but are a great choice. I have the light-weight and custom built (so I can ditch the spacers) Competition Series C-21s. In fact, HRE recently revamped their process and have an even lighter-weight C-90 series which is a pound lighter than my set (at 19).

Buy BBS E88 Aluminum centered Real Racing Wheel.
The design is similar to BBS LM but looks much better.

They even have it in 20in and I think you can custom order the offset !
Have 2 colors Gold and Silver !!!

I think it is the best wheel (in style and performance) for Porsche 997
beside the Porsche 997 RSR racing wheel (but only available at 18in size if I am not mistaken).

I wish Porsche 997 RSR racing wheel style is available in 19 or 20in.It would look even better.
