There was a whole video premier in LA... It's a whole other world out there. I'm psyched for these wheels. It's a swing for the fences and I'm excited for Brad and Matt at Fifteen52 and for Magnus. He could be doing whatever he wants but hes dicking around with old *** 911's just like us

I'm quite liking these wheels. The obvious homage to the fuchs is kinda cool. The black finish on these looks very moody and very mean. I think they'd be cool on a black car. I guess there's a nagging feeling that with a wheel so closely associated with an individual that you're going to draw mixed emotions from people and maybe a little ridicule for maybe being a wannabe but I personally don't look at it that way. It's a good looking wheel to my eyes and I think that Mr Walker is a successful dude, who love's Porsches and love's indulging his passion. Given his current pinnacle like status he's doing exactly what he wants to be doing, enjoying his cars, his position and making a few personal dreams come true. He not curing a rare disease or fostering world peace but as a car nut I salute him. I might be brave enough to go for a set of these if the price isn't too nuts by the time they gets to this side of the pond. Nice one Magnus.

So the video was no Urban Outlaw... It still gave us a good look at the wheels. And they looked even better in video than in pictures. I can't wait to see the high offset versions. I just hope they don't lose too much mojo.

Couldn't agree more.
At the end of the day, they're a new wheel design with styling taken from a few different Porsche wheels!
Just like Fuch wheels on a 964 they're Marmite...
I would love to see a set on a black 964, any photoshop experts out there care to show us there skills

These would be the highest probably... it's an older rendering but it gives me some solid idea of what they'd look like on my 5lug conversion 914... that I dont own yet... lol

Here's the high offset next to the deep low et one...

I've got an Garnet Red 85' Carrera 3.2 though. I want to keep the impact bumpers but go Carrera wing that was parted earlier in it's life. I always say bigger is better but since I can match this stance 16x8 16x9.5.

In that case 16s it is... Sounds cool.
That stance is perfect, low enough but still able to drive as intended

Maybe in matt black on a lowered 993? Toyo has some 16" sizes that may work.

I was thinking 17s in matte gold (without the black rsr finish) wrapped in Nitto nt01.

I think it would look pretty nice on my Av Green 993... If I could fit the 9" 40et in the back. It would be a really tight fit.
