Ok. Fiske is what I was planning on. Now should I do the Profil 5’s or 10’s?

Color? I’m thinking a matte silver wheel w/ polished lip.

i would never put jlines on cosseys car either, but if u seriously think they arent gonna let you on the track with them you have issues, jlines make an excelent wheel.

Race Satin, their anodized finishes are meant to deal with brake contamination.

12" wheel in back is fine, just make sure it’s a GT2 fitment.

I know on Ruf’s website, it says the wheel arches may need to be modified on the 996TT to what the GT2 is so a 12" wide rear will fit. I’d like to go with a 315 rear, which I’m pretty sure I could do on an 11 or 11.5".

Race Satin it is, that’s what I was thinking before anyways.
