Peter, great working with you on design and build of the custom wheels. Beyond happy with how they turned out, and the weight savings was even more than I was expecting...20 lbs rotational!
From the comments and questions I saw so far...
>Lug nuts are the next step. Anyone have experience with Porsche OEM black lug nuts? Wonder if they retain their color after several uses, or if it's safer going with aftermarket options such as a darker titanium.
>My sig details the car's current configuration, including suspension and wheel offsets: For the questions asked, the suspension is lowered 1" on TPC's stage 3+ package, which runs the Bilstien shocks. Performance is always my first objective, so lowering 1" is exactly where I want the car set up, along with the +15mm rear and +7mm front offsets from OEM specs. No spacers. When custom building the wheels we were able to dial in the exact offset I wanted (which goes to even more rotational weight savings from taking off my RSS spacers).

Someone had a question yesterday about using the OEM centercaps, referencing this thread....Just so everyone is aware, the OEM Porsche centercap is a direct swap and can be fitted to this wheel with no adapter or extra difficulty - it just snaps right in!
