Suggestions for '05 997 Carrera S 18" track wheels?

Hello all, I'm new to this forum and I'm seeking advice for replacing factory 19" Carrera S wheels (19 X 8/11 w/235-35 & 295-30s) on my '05 997 Carrera S... I drive to and from track events and tire selection (R compound) to fit 19" wheels is limited to Pilot Sport Cups (which I hate), Pirelli Corsa system (new and on now) and Hoosiers(inappropriate for road use) all in 235-35s & 305-30s. Lightweight 18" wheels in 8 & 11 widths would open up selection of tires considerably. There has to be some properly offset sturdy track wheels out there that won't break the bank (I don't need $4,000 OEM, BBS, HRE, etc, etc.)! Can anyone help me? (Those who know me say I'm beyond help, but I'm new here...) Thanx, David.

Hi David,

I tried the Yokohamas and liked them but I burned them up

as quick as pilot cup tires (3,000 miles). The Yokahams on the front are much

better then the Michelin pilot sport tires. I am going to try

bridgestone's on the rears because I can not get my hands

on any 305's Yokohamas for the rears. The

Yokohamas are very fun as track tires. The Michelin tires are too

hard and do not wear out fast enough for track use.

Paul
