super cool. I would have also prefered the E88 over my E28 "vintage" from Fischer-BBS, but sadly not possible with Tüv in germany.
What dimensions have you ordered?

I kinda wanted to wait for my suspension/brake refresh so I could install them all at the same time...but I went ahead and ordered tires because I will not be able to resist bolting them on

8 and 10s. 0288623 centers which makes for about +47ish depending who you ask. This is the fitment that allows 2inch lips front and 3inch rear. Tra trade off is the face also sticks out a little more
the 0288108 centers would be a 1inch front and 2inch rear lip and the face (this is hard to explain) is in roughly the same place but where the bolts are, is slighly more in-plane with the face. Better to have then side by side.

Either option looks great on these cars. Tires arriving Tuesday!

I like them all...if I had my choice, I'd slightly lean to the 108 and take the trade off of the smaller lip for the flatter face/center. If someone has a new set of 108s, I'd trade... but not likely to happen and I like these 98% the same. These days, gotta take what you can get!

wheels fit great and have a fantastic look. Here’s where you guys might kill me. 1 I think I’d prefer the 108 centers and 2 I’m not sure I like these $xxxx better than the cup 1s. I really became fond of the 8/9 combo that I’ve been running while waiting for e88s. Going to think on this a few days.

Congrats Jeff, don't lose all hope just yet. Those centers might just need some time to get used too and don't hate on me but maybe painting them a different colour would make them pop more as your car is already silver?

Here's some E88 motivation for you.. cheers, Tom

Oh I love them both (you have the 108 centers) but at this price, I;m just going to be a little picky I had to see them on the car to be sure.
I didn't want to do gold centers and I do like the silver on silver - I already planned on it but go extra motivation from Photo Thread Request - 964 cars with Tails - Page 2 - Rennlist - Porsche Discussion Forums

Congrats they finally arrived, an agonising wait, but so satisfying to get them mounted, enjoy Jeff, looking perfect

About to join the club with some E88s next week.
Might be a long long shot... But they are coming with red center caps and I would prefer black... Anyone open to swapping?

I don't. I can weigh the tire/wheel when I get a chance. I should have weighed the wheel but was excited to get the tires mounted

It's all good. Totally understandable.

Car looks great
