Are you already sold on the forgelines?

I've always had a soft spot for the LM-R and think a set would look sick on your car.



Not the best example, but should give some idea.

Are they super sexy? Maybe not. But I wanted a decent looking wheel but a GREAT track wheel. If aesthetics was my only concern, I'd dump an obscene amount of money on ADV.1's.
ah me too but seriously i like the BBS that the JC has put up, or OZ have you checked them out at all??? I personally love them.

BBS's and OZ's are both good suggestions and I actually have looked at both at one time or another.
I believe the BBS's are not available in the correct offsets. There was one member on 6speed that had LM's on his turbo that looked phenomenal bit I believe they were custom machined to fit the TT=pricey.

OZ's are a good choice. Really like the Superforgiatas. But they're just as plain Jane as the Forgeline's. And if I had to choose b/w the two.....well...obvious which one I prefer.

IMO the forge lines just look too JDM, the OZ's look like track duty wheels. To each his own.

Found some pics of the LM-R on a TT. Tire rack states there aren't available fitments for a 997TT. Not sure how AWE did this. Admittedly, this is the TITS.

Pics of that TT on 6speed with custom LM's.

Gah. Now that The JC got my hopes up, looked on BBS's website. Widest they come is a 19x11 (need at least a 11.5, preferably a 12). Plus, the offsets are wrong.

Why not just powder coat the original pumpkin wheels to a different color. Save a few grand and throw a big Party.

The gt3 rims are my favorite rim made.
Bingo.
