SSR comps are about the best bang for the buck wheel out there. whether or not they make a hole pattern and offset for 944s is beyond me. check out www.wheelspecs.com

CCW's can be had for under $2K. Good price for a good light 3-piece wheel. Kodiak also makes similar wheels in correct offsets for Porsche.

I recently saw these awesome looking wheels on Tb311's 951 here on the forums. They look exaclty like the BBS LM's which cost 3 times more.

I'm buying a staggered set 18x8.5 / x 10.0 for one of my cars.

just got a 2 sets of CCW, great wheels, maybe a little heavier(1-2lbs) than some of the more exotically priced stuff out there, check out their new web site it has many more choices for wheels than a couple of month agon when I purshased mine. under 2k for a set of 8.5/10x18, good luck.

Yes, you won't get 18's for under $2K but my 17" 9"/10"Track series were still under that price a month ago with anodized centers. They have added quite a few new wheels and I bet the prices have been bumped also. What 2 sets did you buy?
