Thanks! Here's a closer photo from this morning.

The wheels and offsets look just fine. Buying new wheels for your Porsche is akin to buying jewelry or lingerie for your mistress.

They are really great looking. Given how big the air intakes are on the GTS bumper, I feel like these should have been standard from the factory! Oh well, there's a solution now...

I dropped mine off for Suntek ultimate and window tinting. I have the clear markers ready to go once I get the car back in a few days.

Those look great also. I'm not normally a fan of aftermarket wheels, but lately, the more I see, the more I'm liking them.

Make sure you also buy a wheel mounting guide for the centerlocks. I think a guy in the 991 GT3 Forum makes and sells them, too.

You'll probably need some wheel grease / paste too.
I use this one.

I finally have the car home. No major purchases. Suntek ultimate, window tint, Porsche valve stem caps, clear side markers, aluminum look gas cap (I always get this when I spec my own). It's a daily driver, so no other mods to this car.

Yep. Just bought it from him at $170 delivered and it will be here tomorrow. If you have PCCB's don't even think about removing a wheel without the guide.
