I'm thinking of selling my 18" Twists and getting something thats not quite so stock. All the wheels I like seem to cost $3-5K a set though.

But, I found out about these:

I think they look pretty cool. They have a specific Porsche fitment, are 18lbs/21lbs (F/R), and are manufactured by Enkei Racing (which is apparently different than the wheels they sell for sport compacts). There is also some dual valve stem feature (designed for racing, something to do with Nitrogen pressurizing?). Anyways, the Enkei GT3 cup races on these wheels so they might be decent.

I can't find any good side shots but found a couple of smaller ones.

Here is a small pic of the Enkei/Falken GT3 racer with them in white:

The best part is that they only run about $1500 delivered for the set.

What do you guys think? I'm a little leery of buying anything Enkei. They certainly aren't a traditional P-car tuner. But I like the look, weight, and price.

I personally think those are hideous and would stick to stock or better yet, buy someone's used wheels, you should reach your price target and still have a nice set.

 

they are ok but they remind me too much of the MUGEN wheels that came before that... but it's up to u since it's your car

 

Horrible choice for a street Porsche.

 

enkei is not great quality...nice maybe on a yukon

 

That first link you provided, looked like the stock 10 spokes.
