Wow, those look great! Do you think that you will re-spray them? They look good as-is, but may look better color-matched to the color of the 951. IMO.
BTW: in those pics your car looks Black!(or maybe i'm colorblind.)

I called up Paragon-products and ordered some 15mm rear spacers w/ longer studs and they should work on both sides-ds is alittle less picky space wise. They look great and the tires are good enough to last me awhile- doubt i'll be spinning the 295 rear tires very much!!! 
enjoy.
enjoy.
Are those hollow spokes? What offsets?

I have never seen 11" or 295 work on the rear with stock fenders. I have 10.5 custom built bbs wheels with 285's and still get a little rub. It will be interesting to see how it works.

"dubs" is the gansta term for twenty inch rims, now just used for rims in general.

actually i am going to a pca club meeting tonite....
- they are the hollow spokes and it should be interesting to see if they rub. W/ my new spacers they should be in just the right spot and i also have rear coilovers (375lbs) so hopefully it wont rub. I also have 17" cup 2's to stick on there for the track.
- i dont think kevin had these wheels did he? i thought he had some 18" turbo twist wheels....
offsets IIRC are 52 front and 47 rear.

I thought that it was some sort of product that Dan (Danno-the-man-o as Vincent would say...) put on his new, awesome rims!

Hey Dan, next time we get together can I try on your shoes? If Kevin did have that wheel on his car with out rubbing I might have to look into getting a set. Although every wheel I photoshop onto my car I end up not liking as much as the cup II's, I just hate that they are a cheap knockoff and are very heavy.
Porsche! why didn't you make a cup II hollow spoke 18" wheel !!!!!!
