Just ordered my wheels!!!

WEll I sold some parts off the old Subaru and decided to spend that money on the new ride. I ended up going with the Axis Penta is hyper balck center with a polished lip. I think it will look very clean on seal grey. I just installed my my Kenwood DVD player as well. I will get pictures up this weekend once the wheels are on. I went with 19x8.5 in the front and 10x10.5 in the rear with a set of Toyo T1-R's. I am about to order the rear aero to complete the aero kit and also the small lip spoiler that goes on the top of the rear window. My goal is a clean smooth car that retains the class porsche is known for.

The wheels are the Axis Penta. They are a one piece design. The fronts weigh about 24.8 lbswhile the rears are about 26 lbs. The lip on the front is 2.5 inches and 3.5 inches in the rear. http://www.axiswheels.com/wheels.php?id=penta_porsche

I saw those a while back and thought they were a real nice wheel. Good choice.

Can't wait to see them on your car. the rear Aero. Personally i think it looks better without.
