Cool - would you go with the 18" again for Autocross or try 19"?

OZ 18"

I had them powder coated bronze. The metal flake ended up being really light. I like them, they are affectionately called shyt brown by my friends. 😒

I'd go with 18s. There are a lot more tires available and they are cheaper.

Thanks,

You may want to check if 9" wide in the front is legal in autocross for a 981. For the 987, 8.5" is the widest legal size you can run in the front. Apex makes both sizes but the 9" is more common.

Custom Ferrari 348/F355 Challenge by Speedline replicas. Built to the same specs as Boxster Spyder 19" wheels. Could have been a bit more aggressive with the offset but wanted to keep the ability to run my 18" Cayman SII wheels with 7mm spacers front and rear.

Augment Wheels. Not sure who they get to do the actual machining, but it sounds like its either in Taiwan or mainland China. Build and finish is impeccable. Their alloy centre caps are the cherry on top, the crests are better looking than what you get from Porsche. I like them so much I'm fighting the urge to have a lightweight design made up in magnesium in 18".

Thanks Kris, I assumed they were from Augment. Had a bad experience with them a few years ago, and what I recall is their wheels were made in Taiwan. They are a good source for really unusual wheels though.
