Contact Eddie at Orbit Racing in Florida...he has a set of BBS and Forgeline for sale. The BBS were listed here on the forum.

Is there performance gain out of 18s vs 19s? Other than cost of tires...

That is to be debated...but I think somewhat the taller sidewall as it slightly rolls over in turns provides more tire contact and helps with bumps on the track.

Also I can run 255 tires up front and you can't find that in 19". I tried R88 and MPSC 235's with 19" up front and definitely could feel a lot less grip up front.

Have run both CCW and OZ Allegeritta and both work well. Can't beat the price on the OZ and that is what I currently run. Weight wise the OZ and CCW are the same. The CCW is available in 9" front which is a plus. Can't go wrong either way and can get 2 sets of CCW or 3 sets of OZ for the price of 1set of BBS.

Who is the fellow Rennlister with the BBS's? White GT3 with gold centred BBS's.......just does not get any better.
I have looked at CCW and I agree those are an excellent price/value. I am presently looking into Forgeline as well. Not sure on that one, but maybe there is potential for a Hands Together for a Cure 2013 sponsorship to be had. You never know.

Hello, there are several of us with the gold wheels but I think I may be the one you are speaking of. My set is anodized and not painted like the other BBS wheels. It was a long and tedious process but they turned out beautiful.

I've had 2 sets of the OZs in 19 for my last 2 P-cars. Zero issues.

Hi.
I 've been using the OZ 18's for a couple years on my C2S with no issues 8.5 and 12". Great wheels. I also picked up the 18" Challenge centerlocks for my '10 GT3. Excellent wheels at a great price point.

Thanks for the advice. Like the idea of used BBS, especially with the gold center. White GT3 with gold centers reminds me of the GT3 cup car with the gold centered BBSs. Chatted with CCW. Great customer service, and definitely seem to know sizing and offsets which makes sense. Looking into the Forgeline GA3R right now.
What is the consensus on color of center. The voting starts now!

Okay, the computer just refreshed.Living in the middle of no where has some disadvantages with internet Mooty, you just made the decision a bit easier. Your car looks fantastic. At a distance the GA3Rs with the gold center would suffice. Definitely not the look of your BBSs, but may do in a pinch.
