Are any manufacturers still making rims similar to this style? Can't seem to find them after about 30 min of looking tonight.

Thanks.

Now those brake cooling ducts on the RS makes the ones I bought from AP Design look like "the dogs breakfast" they must be Porsche OEM and unobtainable, redefines "perfect fit", would love a set of those.

A Maritime RS looks so right that the sight of one makes me feel physically ill that I don't have one.

JB, with the money you have, you should have 2!

They look great!

What is the handling like with them, are they heavy wheels?

A couple quick pics for an early morning drive last Sunday...

I'm afraid I don't know what they weigh. They have spun flanges so probably not too heavy but that's an assumption on my part.

As for handling I couldn't be happier. A local shop did a "Euro RS" alignment, installed the H&R Greens lowering springs and the wheels and tires (PS2s) and the car turns-in really nicely.

I will say that the stock shocks are not optimal for the lowered springs. Fine 99% of the time for street driving but I can feel how they'd be over-matched for the track. Not quite stiff enough for the springs.

Overall though I'd recommend the setup.
