Agree wholeheartedly, Close behind are the SportTechnos from the 991.1. Then there’s everything else.

Default Center caps are now black.

....I think it looks even better. In the last 2 days several people have told me it looks like a late 80s 911. Don't know if they were Porsche folks but they were sure Fuchs fans.

Not a fan of black wheels in general, but black Fuchs (or facsimiles thereof) on the right car are undeniably great looking, as on your car. Congrats!

Ahhhh, that's an interesting topic . . . wheels that are the GOAT. I'd have to put Porsche's turbo twists right up there. While perhaps not as iconic as the Fuchs or the Cragars, for me, the twists defined an era of Porsches. Many of the great wheels had a simplicity to them, which is perhaps THE defining characteristic of great art/design.

holy moly! That looks amazing... I was interested in those until I saw how heavy they were, not sure if they are made by the same company as yours though

I also think an 18" wheel is a great size for the Cayman

they are stock cayman tire sizes for 18" wheels not sure what that is and the car is garaged. Wheel sizes are 18x8.5 front and 18x10 Rear.

What brand replicas are these? They look great! THe Euromeister Fuchs reps I've seen don't seem to come in the correct off-set.

Update - I saw you posted it. Disregard.
