Nonetheless, they give you that HRE look and more importantly that extra clearance needed for those calipers.
Forgeline VX1's would be comparable to the HRE lightweights in terms of weight.

Looks great with the new wheels, sorry about your caliper issue, that really sucks.

Thanks. Yeah the PCCB's ultimately cost me $15,000 when you factor in the cost of the wheels (the Forgeline wheels were $6500 delivered). Having said that I do like the Forgelines better than the OEM wheels, but the OEM wheels also look good. But as of today with about 425 miles on the car no more rock damage. Don't want to jinx myself but I think the increased diameter of the Forgeline wheels have solved the problem. Don't know why Porsche couldn't have provided a wheel with the dimensions of the Forgelines. I have driven many roads of varying quality including tar and rock chip and not a ding anywhere. They are a breeze to keep clean as well: a rinse with deionized water and a blow-dry, and they are pretty much done.

Beautiful! Been on the hunt for centerlocks that fit over PCCBs that I find great looking. Got more photos, especially some showing off the fitment to the fenders?

I can get some tomorrow, but for now, the rear offsets are 6mm more aggressive than oem, the fronts are 5mm more aggressive.
