Default New set of wheels for NB 991.2
Ordered a new set of BC Forged wheels from Josh@Meraki Autoworks. Size and offsets are 20x9 +45 and 20x12 +71. As for tires, they are Michelin PS4S 255/35/20 and 315/30/20. Will probably part ways with my previous setup if anyone is interested.

Old setup:




New setup:

BC Forged? I’m looking to do a modular setup similarly!

my driveway is not flat so the drivers side looks like there’s more camber.

I only have sport pasm suspension. I’ve considered lowering, but the roads in my area are not the greatest.

That gold looks way better with Miami blue than the bronze did. The bronze didn’t really compliment the vibrancy of the blue the way the gold with polished lip does. Great choice. The poke is kind of aggressive for some, but would probably tuck if lowered a bit. Still, I’m just being nit-picky, looks great and I would love a set myself. Is this their off-the-shelf offset or a custom set?

Great-looking wheels. How deep is the wheel lip and, are they the same front and rear?

Thanks,

It was a custom build and it took right at a month from the day the order was made to delivery. There are guys running more aggressive offsets than what I have so it depends on what you’re going after. My previous set I was running 20x11.5 with a +66 offset and it was flush also. I believe tire brands and tire sizes make a difference b/c my previous set I ran continental sport plus tires. With the new set, I upsized the tire sizes and went with Michelins.

If you’re wanting to order a set, Josh from @Meraki Autoworks was who I ordered from. Great communication and you would be dealing directly with the owner himself!

Thanks,
I’ll have to measure later when I get home but I’m sure they are different b/w front and rears.

Correct, BC Forged MLE 81. If you do order a set, Josh from @Meraki Autoworks is who I went with and would recommend him!

The new wheels give it more a heritage Porsche feel. Great combination of choices in wheel style and color!

For anyone else interested in some BC Forged wheels for your Porsche, feel free to contact us!
