would the konig imagine 17*7 inch wheel fit ok and not rub? i think its a 40mm offset, i currently have stock 16 inch phone dials in the front and rear, i think they are 16*7 (front) and 16*8(rear). These konig wheels are really nice looking but i cant find 1 porsche with them, here is a link to them:

they come in a black/opal and silver finish with machined lip, but will they fit with my offset in the front and rear? i think they offer 18 inch too but i would like to stay 17 inch, also what tire size would match my current stock rims for correct speedo mph if i went with 17*7 inch in front and rear, im assuming they dont offer a 17*7.5 or 8 for my rears as ive looked around, what do you think, also at 900 per set with tires they look cheap too... any help on fitment is appreciated

Check out the Simmons OM wheel. They look similar to the Konig but they are available in Porsche offsets as well as a variety of colors and sizes/widths. Paul Bloomberg has these wheels on his turbo and they look very nice. There are 2 distributors here in the US, one in NY and the other in AZ (which is nice for me as they are only a few miles from my house).

I've heard from the Mustang crowd that the Konig wheels aren't that good. They're lightweight and all, but tends to break with abuse. Go for a quality 3-piece wheel which tends to have higher quality castings or forgings for the centers. The spun rims are stronger and lighter too. In addition to being replacable in case of damage.
