Default Advice on gt3 rs 19 inch wheels

Hi, i recently bought a 2011 gt3 rs. I like the stock wheels but i want something a little bit updated and fresh. Anyone have any suggestions on newer style rims.
I like the look of the HRE concave wheels but was wondering what else is out there

I have already had the bbs monoblocks CL on a gt2. and currently have 3 piece HRE in 18 s.

pics would be great thanks

Forgeline, I think, makes the best bespoke aftermarket wheels on the market today. They have designs for just about any use case including track cars, street cars, etc. Great value as well. You pay for none of the HRE marketing overhead.

I also love the Champion wheels. Timeless and you can probably get them right way if they're in stock.

HRE make a nice wheel. Cant go wrong. I have a set of their 18" 3 piece and RSranger has a really cool set of their 18" on his RS.

BBS is a hot wheel for a GT3. Monoblocks are really cool, Personally for me on a RS it is BBS E88 in 18" or nothing.

Finnspeed make a serious wheel if you are looking for something different. RSranger has a set of them in 18" and look really nice.

I think the RS wheels OEM center locks are one of the best looking wheels on a porsche out there.

But if I were you, I'd buy the HRE p101.

I currently have 18 inch hre . i love , but want something a little different for the street, and more bling bling for the street. I have a cup with 3 sets of 18 inch bbs .
i really like the stockers, but damaged one.
its signal green
im leaning toward the HRE p101 or the ga1r gonna be a hard choice for me .

Volk G12s are also another great option.

Volk quality is outstanding.

That being said Ill probably order a set of GA1Rs myself next spring.

Another vote for Forgeline but I much prefer 18 inch wheels.
