Awesome wheels, I ordered the same BCForged KL01's for my white 991.1 CS, but in their brushed bronze I am quite a bit lower than you, on Damptronics. How do you like your wheels so far?

I ordered Tractive coilovers a few weeks ago. Should be here in a couple of weeks. I am just interested in spring rates of the others.

Here are a pic of my custom springs. They are Linear spring rate. Better for tracking. Very different from progressive (pig tail) springs.

Love the wheels. The weight savings alone was worth it. The rears are 20x11 and only weigh 20.5lbs. I love the bronze look too, but I’m just too conservative to pull the trigger. You will enjoy them. I had my centers milled out to accept the OEM caps.

I wish I did grab a pic but I didn’t. I’ll ask the reseller. I went with these because I have a set of ABT HAS on my S5 Sportback, and they are hands down the best suspension I have used. I feel zero difference in ride quality when compared to OEM. ABT has very specific spring rates for each car and I think that’s why the ride quality is so good. No crashing over bumps like lowering springs. I know that ABT provides the kits for KW, and that’s why I went with KW.

Nice mods. Car looks great with the spacers.

A nice start! 12mm in the front I assume? I put 7s all around and the rears look perfect albeit the fronts are still tucked but look good enough to leave them as-is.

Another set of Sport Technos, refinished in a satin finish.

Thanks! They were powder coated. The color is a little darker than the factory Porsche silver. I wanted to find the best mix of contrast and depth in these wheels. The factory silver style shows all of the detail but has little contrast to the machined face, and the black ones have huge contrast but hide the subtle character of the wheels. I got these wheels used for a good price and had them refinished, so this is just an experiment.
