Default Wheel help post pics

Just bought my .1 GT3 and I have a set of champion Motorsport wheels, which are very nice, but I think I want something else. I also have the OEM wheels, but not sure if I want to powder coat black. I have looked at various wheels and not sure what I want to do. OZ racing formula HLT looks cool, but I don't know.

So to my ask, please post pics of your wheels I would love some ideas. My car is white, but want to see all wheels! Thanks for your help and ideas.

BBS Monoblock. Jaime and I went through a painstaking process to get these made, this will not be offered in the BBS consumer line.

Weights are as follows:

9.0 (19.420 lbs)

9.5 (19.734 lbs)

12.0 narrow body (21.592 lbs)

12.0 wide body (22.092 lbs)

All wheels also have a knurled bead seat to prevent tire slippage.









If you are interested in a set let me know.

I posted some pictures, but they were ginormous so I just deleted them.... and they were center locks so not really helpful for a .1

I have some 19" black OZ ultraleggera w/TPMS & no rubber that I can part with. One minor scratch on one of the rims. See PIC below

I have a set of Forgeline's for a .1 for sale if you are interested. They are black which personally I like on a white car. Sorry no pics on the car. I purchased them used but never mounted tires. PM me if interested.

They look like this: http://www.forgeline.com/products/co...ries/ga3r.html

Here are the GA3Rs in gold and 18s. Have had zero issues with them. Rob's have the dark centres which would look great on a white .1.

The former owner of our '07GT3 put on these BBS wheels, which are silver. He then sprayed them with the plastic stuff to make them gold. By the way, it is not recommended to powder coat wheels that are bolted together.

the prior owner of our '07GT3 put on these BBS wheels, which are silver, then sprayed them with the plastic stuff, easy to change the color, and it is not recommended to powder coat wheels that are bolted together. I think a set is about $5K new.

all the best...

funny as i have the same champion wheels as the OP and am considering a change up as well. i love the look of the OEM wheels but they are so heavy that you can feel the difference.

one consideration i have is to powder-coat the champion wheels black.
