From the 997. I found some replica 18". Just want to see what they look like.

Orange, I just bought the 19" version of these but not yet installed. I shopped the replicas' too..be careful that you check the offsets on them. I have a picture of Roger having a 928 with these wheels on (larger version). I'll see if I can upload it for you.

here are a few....

Some wheels look great by themselves. I'd say these wheels look cool sitting there alone, but no so good on a 928. Just my opinion.

I think the 18s look great on a 928 the 19s not so much

Concur w/ both of the above notes... these wheels not so much and 19's seem to be overkill on 928's...

I will throw in my two cents too.

I thought I would love those on a shark when I saw them sitting all alone, but I agree with the prior posts that they look better on their own than they do on a 928.

I've been looking at these for a while. 8" and 10" widths sound good and the price is right. One issue is only 50mm offset for the fronts. That's a bit low for a 928 and will limit the tires you can fit.

He said replica 18's... If they were 18's they'd look pretty good I think...

Maybe in 18's they will be OK, but the 18" replicas are 996 fitment and the front offset sucks. The 19" will be 997 fitment and they have better offsets. I went from 18 x 8 et50 front to 17 x 7 et55 front and the difference is unbelievable. I am not a fan of the style, but everyone has their own taste.

I've been digging around for wheels pretty hard. Some stock 997 wheels have 57mm offsets and some have 50mm. You gotta look at the fine print for the wheels you are getting.

The knock-offs I've investigated follow the stock dimensions exactly. And why not? They're really hoping to sell to owners who bust one and want to pay $200 instead of $1000 for a replacement.

On thing for sure: the 57mm offset for some 997 wheels is much closer to what we'd like to get.

After reading many of the oppinions, I'm now wandering what I may be in store for. I loved the wheels - just looking at them. My other thoughts at the time were they would look better contrasting against a darker colored car Black, Dark Blue, Grainite Green then they would red or a light colored vehicle. Plus, I planned to flare out the side rails and add a larger spoiler to the rear. Thought those scale type changes would also impact their look.

Oh well....it will be interesting
