There are other wheels I like but they did get it right with OEM. The E36 M3 with the BBS and B5 S4 with the Avus come to mind as other cases where the factory wheel was just right.

I agree with you guys, I have always LOVED the factory twists on these cars Porsche really got it right.

That said, there are some AWESOME looking setups in this thread!!

I really like these and had looked into them awhile back, but I was not able to find any in 18" with a 5x130 bolt pattern. It seems 19" are readily available for our application though.

Thanks
I emailed them and they said they came in the correct size for my car in 18's but when I had a look at the offsets they weren't correct. So I am waiting to hear back after questioning it.

EDIT; Are 19" really that bad on these cars, I heard it affects handling and ride quality.
