Thinking of getting some 18" Victor Innsbruck rims in matte black to put on my 2004 40th AE. Any thoughts? This is a street car I just hate the chrome look of the factory rims I have on now and being silver I figure would look nice in matte.
Was thinking going GT3 spec 18x8f and 18x11r?
Anyone have them on thier car and can comment on finish (how matte are they? look a bit shine on thier website)
Cheapest place to pick them up?

 

That's a nice looking wheel. I think it would look great.

 

This is definitley one of the better performance oriented(weight wise) wheels in this price range alongside the Enkei NT-03's.

I'd say go for it. I will look good against that silver.

As for size, if you're a casual cruiser, then you probably aren't going to notice too much. If you're a performance junky, you might need to adjust your suspension/alignment/tire pressures as the wider rear wheels might induce some understeer in spirited driving.

 

Love those wheels! I have a set of Victor wheels on my car and love them. The matte black will look killer on the silver car. Go for it!

 

What size tires are those on your car?
I believe GT3 spec rims are 18x8.5 40mm offset front and 18x11 63mm offset rear. The Victor website shows the offsets on the Innsbrucks as 45mm for the front and 55mm for the rear. What size tires should I run? I currently run 235/40 18x8 50mm offset front and 295/30 on 18x10 65mm offset rear. Car is stock height but I may wish to go with x74 down the road. I just don't want rubbing issues but at same time would love to fill out the wheel well.
Also, does Victor offer matching finish metal center caps with a Porsche crest? I have seen some black ones online but they do not seem to match the Innsbrucks based on the the images online its hard to really tell color / how matte they really are.

 

I am running X-74 suspension on my '99 C4 with the Innsbruck wheels. No rubbing encountered.

Specs are as follows:

Front 8 x 18 et 45 with 225/40 R 18
Rear 10.5 x 18 et 55 with 285/30 R18

 

Car looks great love the stance. What made you go 10.5" vs. 11" on the rear? How does that x74 ride?

 

I haven't seen these in person but...they look flat...like they have no concave at all....otherwise...you really can't beat the price or weight.
I've been going back and for between these and the OZ's for who knows how long

 

Offset was the reason. The 11" were on available in et 36mm at the time (there are also 55s I think) which does not fit well - sticks out too far. The 10.5" et 55 is the best compromise relative to wheel position when compares to factory numbers (lose 4mm inner clearance and stick out an additional 16mm).


The X-74 is excellent. The car handles much better and ride is not harsh at all. It's firm, but remains reasonable compliant.
The spokes are flat, but the wheel is concave at the hub.

 

Would you happen to have a side picture of your rims and tires? I am leaning toward the exact same setup you have. Doing some math says the front will come out 10mm and the rear 16mm. Basically what many achieve with the 7mm/14mm spacers on narrow bodies.
So, maybe i'll just bring back the tire sizes to 225f/285r using the 8"f/10.5r" vs. the 235f/295r I am running now.

 

Here you go

The rear one is perfect and as you can see the wheel and tire package is almost perfectly flush with the fender lip.



The front picture is not quite accurate as the wheel was slightly turned to the right. However, the wheel is a bit more recessed than the rear (also the camber is quite a bit more pronounced).



PM me is you want higher resolution pictures and I can reshoot if you need.

 

I'm not a big fan of black wheels, but to each his own. I've seen photos of silver cars with black wheel, but not sure if I saw them here or on Rennlist. You should be able to find some before you make your decision.

 

Just following up i got Victor Innsbrucks installed here is a quick crappy phone picture.
I am pretty happy with the results, Suncoast came through with the black OEM bolts and picked up some matte black centers on eBay that make a nice match.
I finally went for the 18x8" on front and 18x10.5" on the rears and that looks to be the perfect size for a narrow body car using the Victor rims due to the aggresive offsets.

Now I think x74 is in my future

 

Nice ! They look good against the silver

 

Looks great. Congrats. I have a trip overseas coming up but hope to order my wheels once I get back.
