New Black Hard Anodized finish
By popular demand: Here's a sample of our new Black Hard Anodized finish.
Beautiful finish, highly corrosion resistant, adds no weight to the wheel.

Yes, the 18s are very light. The centerlock version is actually half a pound heavier, ironically.
It is also important to remember that the 18 inch tires (235/40ZR18) tend to be a bit heavier than the 19s (235/35ZR19).
So, your actual unsprung weight savings will vary, depending on the tire you choose.
Now if you fill the tires with helium........;-)

No problem fitting PCCBs
I have received a lot of PM questions about this, so let me clarify.
Our new 18 inch wheels fit all 996s and 997s with either steel or PCCB brakes.
They also clear Stop Tech and Brembo aftermarket brakes.

Sorry if I confused you. Available front widths are 8.5, 9.0, and 10.0
Rear widths are 11, 11.5, 12, 12.5 and 13.
These can be ordered in Centerlock or 5-lug.
All fit with PCCBs, StopTech and Brembo. TPMS is just like OE.
