What brand of wheels are you running?
So, which aftermarket brand is the most popular and second to Porsche OEM rims? I tried to list the most common brands available for our cars.

Re: What brand of wheels are you running?
I can't do poll. It only allows one answer and I have 3 different sets.

Re: What brand of wheels are you running?
Unfortunately that is a limitation of the poll system. Just select the one you use the most, or your favorite. It's not official or overly scientific or anything.

I took the easy way out:
Track: Cayman S OEM w/powdercoat
Street: Cayman S OEM w/o powdercoat
This way the poll works!

Re: What brand of wheels are you running?
Had a set of the RS98 from the CC group buy, have a set of CCW C10 (very nice wheel) and also a set of Victor's (just fair wheel). I have a set of Tire Rack's TR2's for the track, I had them powder coated black, this is a budget priced wheel and quality is reflected in the price.

Re: What brand of wheels are you running?
No votes for Vorsteiner or Fikse? I'm a little surprised...

Re: What brand of wheels are you running?
BBS or Champion wheels would be my dream wheels.
1st choice the BBS wheels I see on the Porsche Cup cars wish they both were not so expensive .

Re: What brand of wheels are you running?
I've had Techart, Gemballa, and Speedline wheels on previous Porsches. The HRE P40s are the nicest of the lot.

Nobody gives you more ways to get the look you want:
1. Purchase new Porsche Factory alloys.
2. Purchase like-new used or restored Porsche alloys from us.
3. Have us refinish your Factory alloys. We restore, anodize, polish and chrome plate.
4. Purchase our aftermarket wheels--we offer the very best, including Kinesis, Fikse, BBS, HRE and Champion to name a few.
5. Exchange your straight, true Factory alloys for Factory alloys pre-finished the way you want.
6. Exchange your scratched/curb damaged Factory alloys for new or refinished Factory Alloys.
7. Trade in your straight, true Factory alloys for aftermarket or Factory wheels.

Likewise! Nice, strong, light wheel for track. Have 19" Carrera S II stock wheels for street.

Actually it is a limit of the person who set up the poll  as you can allow for multiple choices. Do you want me to edit the poll and see if I can change it now after the fact?
Edit: Ugh just tried and once you set up the poll you cannot change the poll type.
