Default WTB - Champion RG5 19" WB (Turbo) Fitment

I am looking for a full set of Champion RG5 19" Silver wheels in very good to excellent condition. 997.1 Turbo fitment (8.5 x 19, 11.5 x 19, offsets F 53, R 44). Flush WB fit without the use of spacers. Also looking for wheels that do not require reconditioning.

Wish you luck. Had RG5's on my former C2S and liked them a bunch, and still do. You might call Wheel Enhancement, small chance they would have a used set. And set up a permanent search on eBay, if anything is listed they email you. (I have a permanent search for a not terribly well known Japanese artist on eBay and I always hear of any new listings almost immediately.)

Good luck indeed. I've had a saved search for champion wheels setup for many months - still waiting!

Default Bought a new set

I decided to buy a new set from Champion Motorsport. I will post some pics after I get them on the car.

I found a used set of RG72's online for my car -- super happy with the fitment and how they look

I almost bought a used set of RG5s for 2,000 until I found out that one front wheel was mismatched. I'm suprised they don't sell for a little more used considering they don't come up for sale very often.
