Still not sure what I'm going to do with mine... here's a before and VERY rough after (can't get my photoeditor to cooperate with rotating this AM!)
Thoughts guys? (sorry to hijack, but depending on what they say, these might become yours!)

another shot; rears are deep dish on the 18s. Love the GTS look though, too. Tough call.

If you're talking about the ones in my avatar, I bought them off eBay. They're aftermarket. I believe 58mm offset in the rear, and 53 in the front, with a 3mm spacer to clear the big reds.

I've got the same ones, I think they're the best looking of all! I thought they were oem on a 997?

I just came across those wheels (split 5 spoke) at an aftermarket site...they were not costly at all and the offsets were good.

Did you purchase them? If not, could you pm me and let me know where I can get them.
Thanks,
Eric

Ahh, man I saw your car at the Bmore GPrix this weekend in the Porsche Plaus area. Too bad I didn't know it was you. I was there with my Uncle and girlfriend. Car looked nice.
I have a pic somewhere I took of it.

IMO no debate here. Stay with the Cups. They are soooo classy.
