I really wish the spokes didn't cover the rim/lip. I would much rather prefer the spoke be shorter like the originals. Forgeline's LS3C or thje JO3C have a better representation of what I'm talking about.

Have always loved the look of the old Porsche 5-spokes, it's what I grew up seeing 50 years ago. Ordered the Carrera rim option for my C4S as that's the closest the factory rims reproduce the old design.

Would love to see an exact replica (but with modern fitment as to tire size and offset).

These rims are quite nice though!
