Not a stellar price, IMO. The offsets are less than ideal for a 928, but will work. So, what do you do for the rears?

Yup, those will work. I have a full set with 10" rears coming soon. They are my fav looking wheel Porsche (and the aftermarket as in yours and mine) have ever produced. I wish they had offsets like AO's CIII wheels pictured above on his red S4, those are the ideal offset at ET57 front on a 8" rim width. Oh well, can't have everything I guess.

BTW, they are generally referred to here as Carrera Light Weight Wheels... Just sayin'.

Also as AO noted, no great steal, but a decent deal. Once upon a time (when 911's were being shipped with these wheels) you could find a full set of factory wheels with decent tires already mounted for $1100 to $1500! THOSE were good deals!

I messed up I emailed wheels and caps and they said they had the carrera 3's only in 19'' and then asked about the 2's and said they had nothing now I've been searching the web and found they have a whole set for 569 wtf 18x8's and 18x10's. I'm looking for rears right now? By the way AO your car is the reason I bought my 928 I love yours!

You can buy single wheels at wheels and caps, I bought 2 rears for 283 shipped so I messed up a bit but oh well. Now I need to find tires!
