its really nice.... rims are abit too small, IMHO go with at least 20" or 22", but the black chrome is pretty goes very well with your car....and one more IMHO... delete the Porsche badge under the side marker.....once again IMHO...

i think a smaller 356 size crest may work there better

Personal opinion... I just like spokes that connect to the rim INSIDE the rim better. Better proportion, more substance... less spindely...and .. perhaps... less chance to warp the rim on bad roads. But I do like the color treatment .. that looks really da buziness!

a bit flashy for me. btw, those crests on the sides are overkill imo.

in person they look much nicer , its hard to take good picture they are senstive to light and flash.. i was lucky to find the exact match for the lug bolt cover in picture here .. so i dont have to buy new set of black lug bolts


ill get more picture when i have the other 2 , the process took 4 weeks

so no one liked the badge?

the wheels 19 in my opinion think its best if the car your daily drive with family , from my experience with my jaguar XFR 20 or more not recomended for a family rough ride

i lovethe color too , i was looking for this option since i got the car 6 months ago its 2012 v6 .watched many you tube , web pictures i either see all black or silver chrome dont like the chrome silver to bright and the black to dark .. the diamond is in between the two . its perfect for V6 black no chrome arround the windows. THIS special POWDER coating for snow areas where they use lot of salt on the road ) WARRANTY 5 YEARS cost 899 for 4 wheels
. i bought extra set of exact wheels on my car 1500$ used from tire shop becase the process take 4 weeks
its good if u have wheel with curp damage scratches etc...the fix and chrome the wheel
