Default FS: Champion RG5 wheels off 07 GT3

Recently sold my GT3 for an RS and these wheels will not fit. They are 19"-8.5 fronts and 12 in the rear with the TPM. Bought new from Wheel Enhancement-go to their site to see a pic on my white car. Not a nick or scratch-$3200 for the set or would trade for a set of Black RS wheels.

Stock wheels are cast-Champions are forged-not only lighter but stronger as well. I am not sure of the exact weight diff. No need for factory spacers as well. I am sure someone in this forum could answer better than I.

the RG5's are the lightest forged wheel made by Champion IIRC. Should be roughly 18# in front and maybe 22# rear.

Does anyone have a picture of these wheels on an Artic Silver car?

The 12" width will be OK on teh back with stock tire sizes?

Why not? An 010 RS w/ CL? Will they fit an 07RS?

The 12" rear was a direct repl of the stock running orig 07GT3 size tires. The RG5 off my GT3 will not fit the wide body offset of the 08RS I now have even though tire size is identical.
