I have a set of RW5's in silver on a Guards Red '09 Carrera S. I get a bunch of positive compliments from fellow Porsche owners. Because there seems to be some additional offset (don't know how much exactly, but there's some) with the RW5's the car actually looks lowered to some folks. Definitely fills out the wheelwell without actually lowering the car. Balances great with a good set of tires.

I have owned both the Ruger Mesh and the Roderick RW5 along with many other wheels. Both have the same build and finish quality. Biggest negatives for me with the Ruger Mesh is that they require spline drive lug bolts and the offsets are a little more aggressive compared to Roderick RW5. RW5 accepts OE lug bolts and the offset was perfect for my case. I run widebody offsets on my narrow body and the Ruger Mesh was borderline a little too aggressive.

Here are some pics with the RW5 on it.

Nice ride Sam. I almost went with Roderick but the price difference sealed it for me. It's a nice look on your car though. Interesting mods....your a narrow body, with turbo front and turbo look rear. Makes for an interesting look. Well done.

Thanks. I call it Super Mutt. Lol. The idea was to combine all of what I liked that was available for our cars. Since I wasn't too fond of most of the aftermarket aero parts that was on the market, this is what I came up with.

Those rims sorta overwhelm the car. Reminds me of the Buicks on the road with 22's. The wheels are so out there.
