So after getting my coilovers installed I had a chance to finally get my wheels on. I've had them here at home waiting (close to a year) for the suspension to go on so that I could put the new wheels on. I'm really happy with how they turned out.
These are OZ Formula HLT in 19x8.5 and 19x11. Ride quality is basically the same as stock sizes because I decided to go with stock profiles 225/40/19 and 295/30/19. The wheels are about the same weight as hollow spoke twists even though they are 19".
Factory 996 Turbo Hollows
8x18" at 22 lbs 2oz
11x18" at 26 lbs 5 oz
OZ Formula HLT 8.5x19" at 22 lbs 5.8 oz
11x19" at 25 lbs 2.8 oz
Vogz, no rubbing as of yet. Seems to be good clearance. OZ is pretty conservative with offsets so seems good to go.
'02996ttx50, I promise the ride is great!! I'm running stock profiles so I don't have "rubber band" side wall height. I'm running 40 series front and 30 series rear (like stock) not 35 front and 25 rear like many with this application.
Love them, I'm going to have a look at some in maybe a graphite color.
Are these tire sizes very common and readily available in most brands? 225/40/19 and 295/30/19. Michelin are not very good with availability in 996TT 18" tires.
Thanks Jim Mine are actually Grigio Corsa aka Matte Grey
There are a few different tires available in these sizes. TireRack has 6 different makes/models of tires in this size right now.

Personally, I think it's a beautiful center cap/cover. I know many wheels now a days don't have center cap/covers but I think they can make for a really clean look and also easier to keep clean in general.
The wheels come with two sets of centers. The cap/covers that I'm running as well as just a small center cap.

I'm a huge fan of the stock twists as well!! I will keep mine for any time I want to slap them back on but I really love how these turned out.

No issues at all the main issue is the ratio of overall diameter front to rear and this setup although overall 1 inch in diameter larger is still running stock ratio of diameter front to rear so no problem
