btw did you get them?

Where are these wheels manufactured? I think they look great. I wanna go back to 19's as I can't drive as hard as I used to now that I'm on 20's. I have a NB with a 20x12 on the rear. Any chance they can make a 19x12 for a NB? If so I'd be very interested in a matte black set.

Good looking wheels at a great price. Hard to beat combo.

Yes; they arrived at my house Wednesday. Took them to my installer yesterday and will have them installed around 2:00 today. If its not raining too bad, I'll post pics later today. If it is, then I'll post Saturday.

Here you go fellas. My camera sucks and the car is dirty. Will start a new thread with it cleaned up and a better background. Try to answer any questions up front --- 19's, titanium finish, car is lowered on Eibach springs, car has OEM PCCBs. New, much nicer looking center caps will be here in the next day or so.

New Hankook tires feel fantastic and VERY quiet.

Congrats. They look great. What are you doing with the center caps? I have been looking at these wheels for the last several months but the lack of available Porsche center caps has stopped me from taking the plunge.

Simply beautiful...I am about 100% sure I am getting the same wheel for my SY beauty.

Holy $hyt, those look so sexy! I need a set now! Not sure what color now for my Artic silver....... Congrats man, looks like the wait paid off!

[amerlemans]

Thanks for the compliments...the wheels look fantastic IMO and better in person than what you see from my abysmal photo skills.

For right now, I'm just getting the new Forgestar center caps. Not Porsche (which I really want) but better than whats on there now. I may see what Ralph Boothe can come up with a little later on down the road.

Here's a pic of the new caps by Forgestar.

Ralph Boothe is here in S. Cali, I called him a few months back. He needs the diamater of the cap and he may be able to do something.

Thanks, that's good to know.

Good looking wheels but keep in mind that the offsets on these wheels are widebody offsets so if you have a narrow body and your car is not lowered, they will stick some.

the rear offset is the C4S widebody offset and the front wheel is 5mm farther out than even a 997 GT3 wheel.

to translate what this means, both front and rear wheels will stick out an additional 15mm past your stock C2S wheels which are 57mm/67mm-19x8,19x11 and these being 48mm/52mm-19x8.5,19x11

Those offsets are fine for a NB..look at the pics the front doesn't stick out at all and it is still tucked in. They look great, just the way I like it. We have had this discussion before and I know you think that the offsets are too aggressive, which is what I like about these wheels.
