love Peridot! I think it only looks good on the R, and seeing it on a Cayenne or 911 is out of place. I think I'll stick with the Turbo II wheels for now since they are forged, and have track days planned.

Installed Porsche short shifter and GT3 brake ducts this weekend, and have Michelin Pilot Sport 4S being mounted tomorrow. Last step is getting some Pagid yellows and bleeding the lines, and I'm all set.

I had to sell this R to be able to get the 991.1 GTS. I really miss the agility, the wonderful steering and the 6MT. Just an incredible car. I still cannot believe I let the dealer talk me out of the standard bucket seats, saying I would not fit. I did, perfectly, but I could not find a seat to try in time. If you have one of these I hope you keep it.

Here is link to our product thread for more information on our wheels, and below are some I have attached some pictures of our popular 19in SV101 and SV103 Monoblocks on a 987 Cayman for your reference. Shoot me a PM for any questions/orders, it would be great to work with you!








Loving this built!

It Is Ruby Red but not PTS. Judging from the build survey it looks as if 2 were made in this color.

Just bought my CAYMAN R the other day and not fond of the stock wheels. Has anyone tried 11" wheels on the back with 8 1/2" on the front for 19s.

I like deep concave wheels and a few people told me 11" would fit but not sure how would affect the driving dynamic of the car.
