You might want to try Kenisis. I have the Supercup wheels. Polished. They gave me a Porsche Club discount at I believe $2700. They are 18 inch and look great. They have other styles as well.

Anybody have any experience with the "2003 Sport Classic" wheels being advertised on Ebay? I hadn't heard of these as OE wheels, but they claim that they are...they are the 5 spoke 2 pieces, and I rather like the look (though the 47mm front offset makes me nervous as it's really the edge of what might fit if I'm lucky) and the price is OK...

JasonECW, I have a 48mm ET wheel 17x8 with a 235/45/17 and it rubs. The car is lowered as much as is possible using the front coilovers/rear eccentric. I wouldn't take the risk.
Nickhance, you should know that the Turbo S offset is different than the standard turbo. I believe standard turbo is 55mm F/R. Turbo S is 65mm front and 60mm rear. I would think club sports (turbo S wheel) would fit fine on your car, but I'm not sure.

I am currently running 8 & 9*18 - 50 ET
with 225/40-18 & 265/35-18
and no rubbing anywhere.
Note that 951S -> cars are with slightly wider
rear fenders, 'cause the inner "lip" is missing. !
So we can use a bit larger/wider tires

I have a set of 18" Fikse's. They are beautiful! I am currently running on 225/40 tires in front and 265/35 tires in back. These wheels are so light and therefore have a perfect unsprung weight. Adds look and keeps your car glued to the ground.

I have 17" FM-10's, 8x10's ET56 on my turbo. While Fikse's are light for 17" wheels, I wouldn't say they are lighter than most Porsche made 16's. 17" tires are also more weight than 16" tires. The increase in mass is definitely noticeable during acceleration runs
BTW: I run 245/40's in the front and 275/40's out back without rubbing --> car is lowered 1" or so. The wheels are w/o a doubt the best investment I've made for the car. Lots of compliments given.
