Wheel weights......

Carrera Classic wheels(19") with Pirelli P Zero Rosso tires...

Fronts....45.6 lbs 235/35/19
Rears.....53.6 lbs 295/30/19

DPE S series (20") with Pirelli P Zero Nero

Fronts...48.6 lbs 235/30/20
Rears....53.8 lbs 305/25/20

Dpe SPSC-5(super concaved) with Nitto Invio tires

Fronts....49.6 lbs 235/30/20
Rears.....59.7 lbs 305/25/20


So I know UNSPRUNG weight is suppose to be a killer....BUT I am willing to sacrifice a few pounds,and NOT all that much,IMO.....for the look!

Nice lookin wheels!!

You won't need to worry about unsprung weight once you have the turbo, plus no track driving. It would barely be a rounding error for you!!

WOW - the wheels look amazing! I love the aggressive look in the back.

I am sorry if you mentioned it before but what was the width in the back? 11"?

Just to clarify......THIS IS the first Porsche to get this set-up,which is why we have to fine tune the fitment......after talks with Manu at DPE and measuring tools...we NOW have it solved.
The back fit,aggressive,but work and work well! The fronts,being that they are concaved,we need to machine caliper clearance.....so I am shipping the fronts back to DPE and they already have the machine warmed up and waiting to get it done,LOL!
NOW I am looking forward to getting them back!
I am just beside myself to how MUCH they transform the car...!
I also changed the back tire to a Pirelli and 'BAM'....lovin' the look!
The 305 Nitto was just to squared off on the edges for my liking(muscle car looking).....the Pirelli (more rounded sidewall)on the concave wheels work way better,IMO!
I am putting the Nittos(only in the 295 size) on the gold wheels since they are NOT nearly as an aggressive offset!

Sorry,I have no idea of the offsets...best to contact DPE for those!

LOL...frickin'
BUT seriously...IMAGINE How wide a 4S would look!

YES I am keeping both.....that way when I get bored,I can switch the look of the car in an hour!
