Put me down as tentative... I'm doing an LS swap, and want to go to 17"s, but I don't know width yet. Possibly 10" or even 11" for the rear wheels.
You can't have too much tire on a 948.

They do look good value for money. I've not heard of any Enkeis failing on the track either. It's harder or more expensive for them to make 1 piece cast wheels of differing sizes / offsets as opposed to 3 piece wheels. Wonder how many people would be out there to get a run of wider 18's?

Why don't you get them to do a 3 piece wheel?
That way you could have the custom center made, then adjust the offset with the rim 1/2's. You'd be able to use standard rim 1/2's to please all the different offset requirements.
BTW... The design is "so-so" with respect to looks. I'd be more interested in a center that looks more like this:

I'd be interested in the 18x8.5/10 set for late offset eta 50F/65R if available in that spec. Sorry if this is out of context since I'm in not in the 911 forum...
A design like Tonys would look so much better overall. I might be in either way though.
