19" wheels that did not come on the car (I have the window sticker) but are Porsche wheels so were likely dealer installed. There was some streaking on the machined face sections so I had them powdercoated and think it looks a bit more "current" without the highlighted faces.

@kam987.2

Looks great, a wheel stud conversion would work well with that setup!

Moved them along to a forum member, I like not having caps on these wheels to begin with.

First time mounting the 'fancy' street setup since installing the GT3 LCAs for the track. That extra camber has it's benefits for the track AND the street!

Gorgeous. LOVE CH-R's... Tire Rack doesn't like that wheel for a 987.2 Cayman S, so just curious what the spec is for them.

Thanks, Tiiger. Pretty sure the wheels are 8.5X19 (et51) and 10X19 (et38). I got them off eBay from a vendor shipping from Germany.

Cool, thanks. Yeah, looks like that's what BBS shows will fit.

So great on that car.

I have a set on my 2017 Audi SQ5 and i just love them.

Hey Code - I know this is an old thread, but I am looking at exactly the same option for my 981 Boxter - a specific wheel/tire set for Autocross. Did you end up pulling the trigger on the Apex SM-10s? What is/was your experience?

Thanks,

I have a set of 18x9/10 SM-10. I’ve had a couple sets of OZ (Alleggerita, Ultraleggera). The SM-10 is just as nicely finished but they are definitely stiffer.
