Chuck, those are very sharp. Not that I prefer them over your 'paint-to-match jewelry', buth they're a different look. Clean, contemporary and they just look right. Looking forward to full pics when you get them properly set up and installed.
On another note, I was talking to a guy with a late model C4S. He has the Carrera Sport 19's on it. I love those wheels.

Ryan - I recall you saying that they rubbed in the fronts - or something like that. I'm curious as to the offsets & how these work overall. They seem pretty scarce, but I'd like to get my hands on a set if they work well w/our cars.

Rears will require smaller spacers to clear fenders as I plan on dropping the rear about 1.5" and you wouldn't want the fronts to stick out any further than they do. I'm thinking about buying a 8x18 54ET (only marginally shorter than the current setup and they'll sit 6mm further toward the center of the car) version so I can drop the front a bit more than I'll be able to with this setup.
Here's the above photo b/f I cropped it:

They are Sport Edition Cup 4 wheels. Fronts are 19x8.5 with 54 ET (tires are Michelin Pilot Sports PS2s 235/35 19), 19x11 62 ET (Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 295/30 19). It took Tire Rack 3 shipments to get me wheels that were not all beat up......

Chuck,
Do you have any more pics of these new wheels on your GTS? I have been looking at these for a while, but was waiting to see what they actually look like on the 928.
Thanks

Chuck - Love those SE Cup 4's! Looks beter than the Turbo Twists.
that 19" wheel up front looks like it will be a pothole magnet. Not much sidewall to absorb bumps.

Off the shelf H&Rs will replace the stock GTS spacers. I'm going to need either a 28mm, 30mm or 32mm which will be determined once I get a chnace to measure.
Thanks Dan! I think so too.
I've got 20s on a couple AMG cars with less sidewall than this; so far so good. Good thing these wheels are cheap............
