Did you start making that same wheel in 19"? I think they would look better. Just my opinion.

 

We do. With that said, I believe 996 generation 911s are best suited with an 18" wheel diameter as Porsche engineers intended. Not only are the wheels lighter (reducing rotational mass), tires are also cheaper which is a big factor for track enthusiasts and racers tearing through consumables. The 996 was developed around a pretty short rolling diameter, and it gets a bit more difficult to find 19" tires in the correct sizes to keep the car happy.

We offer both diameters as we understand not everyone prioritizes performance and running costs, and everyone has a different vision for how they want their car to look.

Could you please send me a link to the 19" SM-10 wheels?

 

what i'd go with if time weren't so short and i needed to replace my similar oz. but i would ditch the toyo's. i'm not new.



APEX SM-10 Wheels in Anthracite
F. 18x8.5" ET42 - 245/40-18 Toyo R888R
R. 18x12" ET45 - 315/30-18 Toyo R888R

 

I went to your web site and I do see that you make them in 19" for BMW not Porsche. Question is do you make them for Porsche 996 turbo?

 

Appreciate it. And for the record, for track compounds we prefer the NT01, A052, & RT660 to name a few over the R888R as well

The SM-10 design is available in a 19" diameter for Cayman/Boxster chassis (including GT4s) as well as narrowbody 911 chassis. We also engineered a rear fitment for widebody 911s (19x12" ET46), but we have yet to run production.

We are also just weeks away from launching a wide variety 18" and 19" fitments for Porsche chassis in new forged designs. This launch will include 19" widebody fitments for 911s (19x9" / 19x12"). Stay tuned!

Great

 

 

The E88's and kinesis are great choices to have.

 

any update on 19" widebody options?

 

Thanks for checking in. COVID has impacted the original timing of our big forged wheel release, but we are very close to launch!

The goal is to have all the details live before Black Friday. I promise it is worth the wait
