Default Track Wheels SC/Carrera

I am looking for suggestions for best track wheels for a 'stock' S/C-Carrera body car. I originally wanted to go to Lindsey 17 inch Fuch centered wheels; but, I have since learned from a reliable source that Fuch centered wheels do not flow cooling air through as well as some of the more modern wheels. I also checked with Linsey and if you want the wheels built, you need to source your own 16X6 wheels.

you get many points of view on this...espeically since you asked for the best wheel. Not sure there is one.

If you stick with Fikse, Forgeline, CCW, Kodiak you'll do fine. They are all time tested designs with tons of PCA race miles on each of them.

HRE have been rumored to have hardware failures and many compalin of poor quality with Jongbloed

There are some 17" BBS's around but they are expensive motorsport issue wheels. Excellent quality and durability accoding to folks on the forums.

Factory wheels are tough because you'll need spacers to run anything in 17" that Porsche made.

Stay away from any/all aftermarket Porsche replica wheels like Cup1's and Cup2's even if they have SC/Carrera offsets.

I've never heard of quality problems with Jongbloed wheels.

In fact, I highly recommend them.
