Those are "basket weaves." I'm actually looking for something with less spokes.

On the other hand I talked to Wheel Dynamics yesterday afternoon. They sell GT3 replica wheels that are 8.5's and 11's with black painted centers. I was thinking about a set of those. I don't know if an 11" wheel will fit in the back though. I think Bill Ball has a set of GT3 wheels on his 928 and they look pretty sharp. I want those black centers though. They look hot!

Wow these are a pretty good deal! What do you guys think? I'm not too fond of a 2.5" lip on the rear wheels, but maybe it will grow on me.

The front's are 52mm offset and the rears are a 58mm. I know 65 is recommended, but would a 58 fit good in the rear without having to roll the fenders?

I would say to be careful buying some of these wheels. Unless they are really heavy (and strong) they may bend real easy if you hit anything.
There are a lot of bent bargain wheels out there bumping down the road. They still look good when they are bent...

Knock offs suck. Get the real thing or don't waste your money on that cast junk.
