Default Looking for used track 18' wheels

I think I need 18" with 9" offset 53 front and 12" offset 68 rear. I run 255 Hoosiers on front and 315 rear typically.

I posted also on the WTB section. If they are cheap I do not care about the look or scratches, but must be good quality.
I know of CCW BBS and Fikse, what else is used often? OZ?

Any suggestions or comments about the wheels you have are welcome.

I'm patiently twiddling my thumbs waiting for all the 2010 RS buyers to dump their old five lug 18" track wheels in time for the spring track season. Hurry up guys!

Nothing really. They are not forged like some of the more expsive option but OZ has a great reputation for making a light and strong wheel with their newer casting technology. I'm pretty sure they would be on many more cars had they not lost soo many customers by announcing them in Feb, promissing them by April and then not having rear sizing until late summer.

However, They only make one 18 x 9 offset (et43) and I think it only works for a '6GT3 and not the '7GT3 so you're stuck with an 8.5' front.

I looked at Tire Rack and the have an 18" with OEM 997 GT3 offset in a buch of colors, except silver.

They are called:

It came up as 8.5 wide, that is fine, but I prefer 9" wide for 255 front.
Weight seems OK?

Backspacing: 6.88"
