Default Need wheel help for centerlock 10' RS

Guys,

I need your help with finding some pictures and recommendations on which wheel i should get for my 10' GT3RS. I've been looking at the BBS E88 but I'm just not a 100% sold on this wheel.

Can someone help me on this and wheel would need to be 19's

TIA

BBS, Forgeline, OZ, HRE, Formula 43, GMG, Volk

I am sure I am forgetting some but all the companies listed above have centerlock wheels

OZ Supeforgiattas are likely the lightest, look great, forged and easy to have shipped from Tire Rack with tires already on! Love mine. Have two sets and love them.

Anything but GMG. There have been multiple instances of CLs working loose with GMG wheels on the track. For just a set of race wheels, I would recommend OZs: cheap, well made and no issues.

Volks are a great option.

BBS no comments needed, and also on 18'' which would be a smart choice.

There seems to be a love/hate on the GMG wheels. I have the 18 inch just for track and have had great luck. I follow the porsche procedure.

I just bought a set of used 19 inch and will track this week. I wonder if the stated issues here were specific to on size or the other.

No affiliation or anything like that just stating my experience. I find Fabryce and James helpful when they have time. Joe is the guy that gets things done for me.

Who is building the wheels for GMG? Are they American made, Japanese, China?

19" wheels.... Id stick with the stock wheels and perhaps buy a second set of stock wheels.

Oz are affordable, HRE are expensive as are Volk but quality is high.
Forgeline makes a great wheel for a great price.
BBS are my go to 18" wheel.
Champion and GMG make nice alternatives too.
