Aw thanks for the kind words and our pleasure! I'd never thought of it but I remember in 2005 those 5-spoke 996 looked pretty darn sweet (18s) on the 928s I would see in the bay area- a good fit. These are the nice 18s but because Porsche made the rear so buldge-heavy in the back the Pana looks odd with 18s. I hate big bling wheels and but on a Panamera TT some people think even a 20 is mall

For sure let us know how the turn out

Might be a good market for this and I can point some of the Pana guys if this works well!

Here is a front and rear wheel. The fronts weigh 22lbs and the rears 24lbs. My next concern will be to find tires that are light weight. I know they vary quite a bit from manufactuers.

Take a look at the Conti DW or DWS (if you have snow).

I do like those more than the 5 spokers normally seen. These have a GT3-look to em

Stay away from Toyo... heavy heavy tires

Yes, the Toyo's are very heavy compared to the Kuhmos.

I have to say that I prefer the 5 spokes. I will like to find a set at the price you sold your set
