Thanks Z06. That is the size all right. I just have trouble finding available decent wheels. I was also looking at the R6 - as you said and will order it from Tire Rack once I've settled on the wheels. I noticed the OZ Ultraleggera online - Just not sure how good they are. However, I love the MPSC2 but always wanted to try a Hoosier... Keep em coming :-) Love your Champion wheels! Thank you!

OP--I'm using the OZ ULTs for track duty and have no complaints. Pretty good value for money considering they're a fraction of the BBS' price.

carrera 4, TT,RS and GT2 all have widebody.

thus wheels will all interchange with each other.

Uh... Negative on that... TTs run a different rear rim width than RS from experience, despite "sharing" a widebody chassis. OP u'd want to make sure they're 12" ET51. TTs come in 11" ET51. C4s are 9.5" if I'm not mistaken.

Get CCW C10. Awesome wheels and race strong. To run Hoosiers you can even downsize to 18" and they do fit over the PCCBs.
I use mine in the Winter with winter tires and as track wheels with hoosiers.

Stock they run different specs, but all the wheels are compatible for the wide body cars (C4 Cab through GT2). A 997TT can use 997.1 RS or 997.1 GT2 wheels straight with no modifications needed.

997.1 GT2 and 997.1 GT3 RS wheels are identical, so it is easier to find what the guys with the RS are running for wheels and choose from there.
