I've been thinking of skipping the OEM 19" wheel options in favor of an aftermarket wheel. My current favorite wheel would have to be the OZ Superleggera III.

What do you think? I think it would look pretty hot on a croc!

Does this car need a lower-ride height or what?!? I love the look of the Cayman S, but even with a 19" wheel the stance is too tall. I think it would look create with an inch-shorter spring. ....but that's just my opion - your mileage may vary.

Superleggeras are nice, but I prefer 10 spokes to 12. One of my favourite all-time wheels are the Prodrive P1s (made by O.Z.). I have a set for my WRX (for which they are intended) and the quality is excellent. O.Z. make good wheels.

OZ IIIs are top tier wheels. Better than any OEM wheel really. The above prodrives are in a completely different price segment (much cheaper).
You definitely have to lower it to make it look proper.
Good luck,
Ben

Hi Ben, Could you explain what you mean by being better than OEMs? I'm in the process of getting one with the 19" Carrera Classics (I really like the way they look), but have also looked at after market. Do you mean weight? construction? Also, anyone know the weights of the 19"C. Classics? I plan on tracking the car initially with the 19s (DE and AX) so it would be nice to be able to get something on the lighter side. Thx.

They are top shelf.
Forged and heat reated centers, flow formed outers, titanium hardware. We hand build the SLIII here as we are their US importer. Of all the wheels we carry, these are among our finest. OZ's racing heritage speaks for itself.
Give me a call if interested.

I have the SL on my GT3. After three years of track, no issues. I chose the OZ because it is light, (much less than OEM wheels) and very strong. With the bombed out roads around here, strong is a must! I also like the fact that there are multiple service centers who can rebuild and repair them in a short time. This was not the case with another top quality 3 piece wheel I had on a previous car. I endorse the OZ.
Best,
Best,

Damon - what a super picture! Thanks!
I make it a point to try and support PCA and Rennlist sponsors.
I'm looking at a September build w/ a late October / early November ship. A set of SLIII's will look fantastic under the Christmas tree!

Awesome. Those wheels have a lot going for them: they are sporty, sophisticated, detailed and elegant. The fine, staggered spokes are a perfect complement to the rim bolts. And that's a beautiful shot of the silver crock.

OZ makes wheels for RUF, so I'm a believer. I also love the deep dish look. Here are pics of my RUF 3-piece modular wheels. I believe OZ makes this for RUF as well.
As for weight, I don't know how they compare, but for the beautiful look, there are few wheels that come close. Do these come in 5 spokes?
If I get my Cayman, I'll just go with the standard wheels, and up-grade with after-markets like these? BTW, as the 07s come with TPMS standard, does anyone know if after-market wheels work with the TPMS system? I'd hate to see the light on all the time when I switch wheels. Thanks.

Sorry, no pictures of the GT3 were taken on the car while it was here. Weight is a few pounds lighter than stock and the look is drop dead sexy. These are wheels that look MUCH better in person.
So far, the Giotto won't fit it, only the SLIII and the Raffaelo. The Rafaello is bound to look hot as well, but we didn't have the parts to build the wheels for the photoshoot.
