They have that British Lotus look - but nicer.
They remind me of these:

Sorry, but glad you won them.
I do that quite often to Rog, bidding on the same things.

E-bay's made that harder with the way they show bidders now. I can't see the 'rogertyson' just bid on this item. It shows '2**rl*5x' instead, or whatever they see fit to use.

Sucks too.

The look like a close variant of my 996 wheels with Allens on the rim and more sculpted out around the spoke centers, sized up quite a bit. Sweet.

So so... for me. Maybe a different color might make them look a bit better - like a titanium or black chrome?

Ang has the same opinion of them, too blingy. She asked me if they "spin".

I'd agree that the black chrome would look great but I'm happy with them

I have a small vibration issue on the fronts, i'll get them checked to see if they are out of round, or it could be a fitment issue. There doesn't seem to be any dealers of them in the US so if one is bad, I'll have to get a new one from England.

I had a vibration problem w/one of the rear tires/wheels immediately after putting them on my GT. These were brand new PS2 mounted on brand new (German made) RH Wheels. After balancing them 2x, still had the problem. ( is an understatement).
Turns out that the PS2 hadn't fully seated/beaded to the rim and there was unacceptable runout of the tire. Wheel was perfect. Remounting solved the problem.
You may want to skip the basic spin balance and find a shop with road force balancer who can measure the runout and isolate whether it's the tire/mounting or the wheel.
I'm guessing that those PS2s don't mate well with some wheels.
(Maybe it's a French/German compatibility issue going back to WWII)

That's the plan for this afternoon, my local Discount tire loves me so I hope they are not that busy. Get them RFB and see how that goes.

Hope it is something simple like that.
