Aftermarket wheels - whats the general consensus?

And this is what they look like if they get a big enough hit :sad:

Though to add context, in that case : hard enough was adequate to break half of the suspension, move the bumper hangers over an inch to the right at both ends, tear the metal in the inner wings and bend the entire chassis - it wasn't just the conspicuous bodywork damage... :paperbag:

[I remain stunned that whoever bought the wreck managed to get in back on the road at all, let alone in less than 9 months]

Yeah, for sure..I was pretty amazed to hear that someone had resurrected it.

BBS, either monoblock or E88, and now the RT88. Monoblock in 996GT3 sizes are very hard to come by, unless you pay big money...

The OEM 996GT3 are a very nice wheel, just unbelievably heavy in todays standards.



I REALLY like those BBS wheels.........

Edit - I just spotted Stuarts thread with weights and supplier...my wallet may be taking a bashing imminently...... :D
