Save yourself some money and just buy these:

If you buy the Starkes from Tire Rack, the default size & offset is Porsche 997 specific, I don't remember exactly, so just refer to sizing on their website. I am also running H&R springs and 5 & 15mm spacers front to back respectively.

On your other thread you said you installed 5mm and 15mm spacers? What is your car photographed with?

The link isn't working. Can u repost as curious what wheels ur referring to on eBay...

Thanks

He might be referring to paint, to paint your center cap.

If you go that route, pickup a set of replica center caps form Amazon or somewhere for $10 shipped, then paint them so you don't ruin the Porsche ones.

Rickdogg, you absolutely right, it is in fact 5mm in front and 15mm in back.

I guess the ebay item I linked sold out, but that's where I bought mine- they are oem caps , or at least high quality (made in Italy, not China), that were professionally refinished in gunmetal and cost less than $20 for the set of 4. I just did another search and there is only one guy selling right now, but he wants $50 OBO, which is $30 too much, so I would just check back. You will want to search "Porsche center caps 76mm" and just look for gray, gunmetal, etc…

Glad to hear. Springs, wheels, tires, and spacers installed today. Ended up removing the 5mm front spacers as I felt the tires went beyond flush. Kept the 15mm rear spacers.

Note sure if you all knew, but tirerack sells these same wheels for $1,116 for the set of 4 19"s.

Wheels are make in Taiwan using low pressure casting. Made in the same factory that makes Vossen wheels, and Carlsson wheel. Wheels are safe for auto cross and track days event. Porsche OEM caps fits fine.

Has anyone here got personal experience with running these for extended periods of time on fast B road/DE days?

Kinda late but I just put a set on mine. I personally think they look great. I will be lowering soon w/ h&r springs and next time around I'll run a 315 tire for sure. Other than that I'm happy.

I almost bought a set but couldn't stomach that they might not be great quality (I have bent VMR, Avante Guard and other chinese wheels), so I ended up spending twice as much on OZ racing. I know they are supposed to be a similar process, but something about buying a wheel from a company that makes F1 wheels and being made in Italy, vs a wheel that is sold on ebay and made in China, just makes it easier for me to sleep at night. I do think the style is among the best

Nailedit

Totally makes sense. I would of purchased the OZ's most definitely if I was going to track the car or if I didn't live in the heart of LA. I would of lost sleep thinking of bending or cracking a wheel just on my daily around town as these roads are terrible. With the starkes the ride is pretty good and I won't be breaking the bank to replace when the inevitable happens... Best styling around though I agree. How have the OZs been for ya?
