Ordering a set through my work for my 05 LGT (18x8, 5x100) for track/street purposes, along w/ a set of new Potenza RE-11 (225/40R18) tires. You guys wouldn't have any RE-01R's lefotver in that size, would you?
These wheels are gorgeous. I'm personally lusting after a set in orange.
I have a fitment question:
I've got a 996 Carrera, lowered on H&R coilovers. The current wheels are factory 18" turbo twists, wearing 225/40/18 front with 15mm spacers, and 285/30/18 rear with 7mm spacers.
The tirerack.com page recommends 265/35/18 tires for the rear wheels. Will it be possible to use my current (brand-new, i.e. <200 miles) rear tires on these wheels? Will I have clearance issues?
Wow these are some seriously light wheels. Even lighter than TE37's, which weigh in at 17.9lbs 18x8.5 and 19.6lbs 18x10. Very impressive, specially for a cast wheel! I wonder how durable these are.
Edit: There seems to be a discrepancy between what Damon wrote and tirerack's spec. So what's the final weight on these?

I've talked to the folks at Tirerack, and the posted weight - 18.9 lbs for the 18x8.5 is correct.
Procedure here is to post on our website what WE weigh them at vs. what the manufacturer tells us what they weigh - there's sometimes a difference. So, as they come in they get weighed.
5 x 130 bolt circle wheels are starting to trickle in. We have received and weighed 18 x 8 ET57 and they are at 17.5 lbs.

265 is OE, but 285 is no problem. Should fit fine.
