I've always scoured Craigslist, eBay, and Rennlist classifieds to get ugly-but-straight factory wheels. Some of my friends swear by Facebook marketplace these days, but I haven't used it.

Paul at Radial Tire is a good source for wheels as well as tires. He can get any wheel that Tire Rack can, and can often get it for a better price.

The forgelines we run on Sparkles are 18's. They are the GS1R. Not cheap but great wheels.

18x10.5 et40

2nd the 18” OZ wheels from tire rack. Lots more tire options. I’ve got a set of OZ’s with Toyo RS1 slicks, 245/640-18 and 285/680-18 on 8.5” wide front, 10” rear widths. Call Paul at radial tire for the tires.

I was also running 18’s on my 981. OZ wheels I picked up here from Nerfbar and I put nitto’s on them. Tires last what seems like for ever.

dorkiphus is a pretty good source!
I have a set of Fisk (8 & 11x18) I’d like to sell. Of my old 996. They have Tyler’s mounted so a test fit would be easy.
