Default 996 cup wheels, what alternatives?

Just wondering, if you do not get the standard BBS wheels for a 996 cup, what other manufacturers produce compatible wheels? I don't find anything on the OZ site, but I know they do make Porsche racing wheels. And googling does not help since you only seem to get results for street center locks.

Did you check Fikse? I am pretty sure I have seen CL race wheels at the track on Cups and older RS cars.

I have a set of these ATS mono block center locks. Very nice and very light. I'd contact them. Not cheap but neither is BBS...

Alternatively, I have 2 sets of kinesis in anodized black or 2 sets of the Ats style. Both style are late 996 cup offsets and widths, clear big brakes and also fit early 6 cups. Let me know if anyone wants any or all of those sets.

Note the GTC3 requirement: "In GTC3 and GTC4, wheels must be 3-piece wheels of the same width, diameter, and offsets."

Interesting as I know several monoblocks that are used out there matching the factory offset and width but never caught the 3 piece sentence. So I will still swap my amazingly valuable 3 piece Kinesis GTc3 legal wheels for those now very gtc3 illegal ,outdated and inexpensive ATS wheels that J, Richard has.... LOL

Glen,

Got any pics? Any chance they could use the BBS barrels? The whole reason to swap these out is to get matching sets/interchangeable parts...
