    Those and your RS's are probably my favorites on the TT

    Re: aftermarket wheels

    seems like a lot of votes for champions wheel, i was thinking about trying them as well, so thanks for all the photos, if there are any more, keep them coming...

    If you want lightweight, proven, AND strong, check out the aluminum items from BBS motorsport. carnewal.com (no affiliation)

    Re: aftermarket wheels

    Street use or track? I researched them all and ended up with Fikse Profil 13s (8.5x18 and 11x18) for track use.

    Re: aftermarket wheels

    thanks, kozzoloz, i have been following that tread as well. I might go with the HRE C20 or C21. Still cannot make the decision yet... Either that or Champion! But Taiwan have better HRE warranty against damage occur while driving on street...

    Re: aftermarket wheels

    Fikse is about to release a new wheel in 19 -- might want to take a look at that. Otherwise, the BBS is very nice too. Don't get me wrong, I love some of the Champions, but there are other "serious" options out there.
