Default Wheel Opinions?

Can we do a brief survey about favorite wheels? I'm thinking about going for the Race Tech Motoring Spec-10 wheels. Does anybody have any thoughts about these? What other wheels would be a good choice for track use?

TIA

ForgeLines on my current car are terrific. Pricey but you get what you pay for with wheels.
CCW wheels are a good less expensive alternative.

Thanks, Rick. Can you give me a rough idea of the pricing?

Sorry for the slow response.
Best that you get the prices directly from the manufacturers or via your shop/wheel supplier. Both are very responsive

Thanks, Rick. I've decided to go for the Race Tech Forged. I started another thread but in case you don't see it - you clearly know about this stuff, so I'll ask you too.

I'm trying to decide on the wheel and tire sizes. The GTS setup is 8.5 x 20 ET51 - 245/35 ZR 20 and 11 x 20 ET52 - 305/30 ZR 20. The GT3 RS is 9.5 x 20 ET50 - 265/35 ZR 20 and 12.5 x 21 ET48 - 325/30 ZR 21. I can go for the 20" diameter in the back too, but the 21" really intrigues me.

This is for track use and I'll be using Pilot Sport Cup 2s. Do you know how this setup would work on the GTS? Is the geometry of suspension and body similar enough not to cause rubbing?

Thanks

I just bought a set of Race Tech Forged Track Spec 5's for my 996 TT can't wait. They look like quality pieces to me. We'll see.
