Wow!
Car looks absolutely incredible Keith.
I'm in the black wheel camp. Forgestar CF10's in matte or gloss black would look awesome.

I will keep these wheels just the way they are. I will probably make my track set black. These are too good just like they are.

If anyone is interested I have six Forgestar F14 wheels for sale.
Four are the same - 18 x 11" Forgestar F14 with a +33 offset. Will fit a widebody conversion.
Two are gloss black and two are satin black. $200 each for any of them.
Two 19 x 12" with a +36 offset. Used to fit the widebody until the brake conversion with the 1-1/2" longer rear axles and now none of them fit.

I'll be at Sebring Feb 23/24th with the SunCoast PCA. Should be an interesting weekend. Porsches usually don't like the group I run with. 
Do you all know anything about Rennen Wheels. I am seriously considering their new RL-55 series in gloss black. I think they have the aggressiveness I'm looking for. What do you think?

The CF 19x9 are 16#
I'm guessing total 12 to 15 pounds save
$1000 per pound save
I guess not very cost effective

Congrats on this full BS conversion Keith!!
For sure you need black wheels it will match better the color and details of your car. Plus the actual size of the rear makes your wheel look too small in comparison to the front. With all 4 wheels in black this feeling will disappear.
I know... it's only cosmetic and has nothing to do with performance

Not only is the car astonishing, the tow rig looks pretty sweet as well! Any pix of the inside of the trailer?
Huge congrats. I don't know of anything else remotely like what you've done, as you've executed your mods in a way that is up to the highest possible standards. Please let us know how you like the brakes on track. I probably shouldn't ask, as it will end up costing me money -- but I suspect they are going to be GREAT!

I run rennen m10 for my summers. Solid wheel and am happy with them. Their new series are pretty amazing!
my biggest gripe with them is that they are more private with their offsets.. you need to pry to get that info apparently

Congrats on being mobile again. Now it is time to enjoy your hard work.
Excellent job as usual on this very unique and exceptional build. Leveraging the build on OEM parts is genius!
