Default Replica Fuchs, make the Cayman look very retro.

Replica Fuchs on my 2008 Cayman. Many folks (not real Porsche people) mistake it for an earlier late 80s 911.

Default Tire Rack...

They are Starke wheels from Tire Rack. They are 18x8.5 front and 18x10 rear. They are designed for the Cayman and Porsche center caps fit.

Nice. But how's about a straight on shot from the side?

I tend to be a purist and don’t usually like aftermarket wheels, but these look very fitting to the car. Great choice and thanks for posting the pics.

The classics look great on all P Cars, IMO, very nice on your Caymen!

Couldn't agree more. The aftermarket Fuchs with deep dish rim look great on the Cayman.

The Cragar SS and Fuchs are in my opinion the two best looking wheels ever made (add the deep dish mags I had on my Firebird to the list). That's why I like the look of the base 18" 5 spoke on the Cayman over the claws. I approve. Now I want to see a set of SS on a Cayman.

I had "Poorsh" as the plate on my S2 when I lived in NY. Just got "O KMAN" for my Cayman. Poorsh Poorsha etc was taken. You cant pronounce Porsche without saying Poor for a reason.
