It looks like Rugers stick out a tiny bit more from the wheel well than the Forgestars. Yes, no? The Forgestars seem to have "better" offsets meaning they are flush with the fender lip and do not exceed it. Could be my eyes or the pics.

Your eyes

Both run a 19x11+52. Flushness will highly depend on tire selection (295-305 or 315).

so my 305's rears will work with no problem on the Rugers, with the added bonus that I can switch to 315's in the future? is that correct?

Yes, but if you plan on lowering your car, the 315s will be a tight fit on a narrow body.

Seems like most of the questions on the Ruger Mesh and Forgestar wheels have been covered already.

Thought I'd mix it up and throw these two wheels into the mix:

Both low pressure cast

Vertini Magic




Roderick RW-5




I'm personally a fan of the RW-5!

Contact me at 714.582.3330 x8005 with any inquiries!
Happy to help

Best Regards,

Just to verify when one gets the ruger mesh, oem wheel bolts will not work and new bolts will be provided with the cost. Also oem porsche caps will also not fit and afftermarket caps with the porsche logo will also be provided with the wheel

GBs are hard to make for the Porsche platform, but we do offer unbeatable pricing on these. Send us a PM, we have the hyper silvers in stock right now.

What about MORR VS8.2?
Matt - are the MORR VS8.2's a good fit for a 2009 C2S convertible?

Any pictures with them mounted on a 997 you can show me?

Also - can you PM me a price?

Thanks.
