Haven't released anything yet but appreciate the feedback good, bad & ugly. Expected it to be polarizing of course but to be honest as a 911 guy first and foremost we figured doing something that reminded us more of a 911 at a glance vs the 981 shape... That and just doing something different than the standard/safe 10 spoke or BBS mesh which we've done a gazillion times. With PCCBs and a crazy offset it was quite challenging to make a 3 piece wheel with hidden hardware to look like the Outlaw 2 piece / fuchs style rim. Most people in person seemed to enjoy it.
With what we're doing with this we think of this car like a toy with our silly bits on it and big uprights on together with the wheels it does sort of look like a hotwheels car which is not by coincidence (more on that later but...). The stock ones were fine/dandy if a bit dull.
PS as a side note I'd advise anyone with PCCB calipers and stock wheels to take the fronts off and see just how much paint has been taken off of the caliper... You'll also find some carved out rings on the inner barrel. Fitment was obviously too tight from the factory... grumble.

The second studio pic looks pretty cool. I'm wondering if these look different in person.
