Black OZ Ultraleggera HLTs installed

As the title states, got these installed recently.

19x8.5 +49mm (F), 19x10 +52mm (R) with Hankook Ventus V12 Evo in 235/35-19 (F) and 275/30-19 (R).

Front wheels weigh in at 21.6lbs each and the rears are at 23.2lbs each.

Black center caps with Porsche gold crest are currently in transit and will replace the silver caps. Had the wheel bolts and locks painted in black.

So far, it doesn't look like I would need any spacers. But that would be determined when I get my PSS9s installed during the 1st to 2nd week of December.

Right now, my 996 is still in 4x4 mode.

Looks nice...perhaps the OZ carbon fiber center caps??

...would also ceramic coat the exhaust tips in black and smoke tint the tail lights...

Looks good on your 996; I've been thinking about getting these wheels, particularly since I've got a boxster in the same color. PSS9 should definitely complete the look (my wheel gaps look roughly the same as yours and I'm slightly lowered on a ROW M030 springs w/17" stockers). any more pix?

I will try to get some more as the black center caps are already installed. One of the things I liked about the offsets of my particular set is that the rears are concave and the fronts are a bit convex if not flat. Don't know about Boxster fitments but you can check that out in one of the 997 threads where Damon of Tire Rack had disclosed which offsets are flat and which ones are concave.

GT3tek body kit is on its way. I like them because they are very mild (not wild) and enhances the look and being made out of poly, won't crack like fiberglass does, which is beneficial on a car that will be lowered.

Tire Rack. I believe they are the official & exclusive OZ distributor in the US.
