Of course I'm joking about the "custom-ness" of these offsets since there are limited options for these widths. Wish the rears were a TINY bit more aggressive, but I'd maybe slap on only a 3-4 mm spacer at max. I think they fit well at SPASM height.
My biggest gripe with rims like these, where the "spokes" terminate before the lip, is that your eyes are drawn to the size of those inner spokes. So the rims each look 2 inches smaller than they actually are. [insert "that's what said" joke here]
I feel like I've only got 18s/19s on.
I think reducing the gap by lowering the car may help me get to a more desired look.
However, I'd probably have to put spacers on the fronts and the rears - after 20+ years of lowered cars, I don't really want to mess with any of that.... but maybe I'll change my mind.
Last thing I'll say is that after installing these, the car feels so much "lighter" than when I had my RS Spyders on.

I went with the "cheapest" forged option. Wheel design is ultra rigid and pothole resistant... but thus heavier than anticipated. Came out to 27lbs front, and 33lbs rear. I know these wheels in magnesium are in the low 20lbs range.
Here is the price breakdown of the options:
20 front 21 rear inch (set of 4):
Carbon fiber monoblock (911 only): $22000 starting at 14 lbs
Carbon fiber 2 piece: $16400-$20400 starting at 14 lbs
Forged magnesium monoblock: $12900 starting at 15 lbs
Forged MAG + monoblock: $8900 starting at 17 lbs
Forged aluminum monoblock: $5400 starting at 22 lbs
Forged aluminum 3 Piece: $7900 starting at 26 lbs
Forged MAG+ 3 Piece: $9900 starting at 24 lbs
Brushed or polished color: +$800
I am surprised by the weight. Did you get the Forged Aluminum that comes in at 22lbs or did you get the Aluminum 3 piece? Or is the 22lbs weight for a smaller sized wheel?

I was too... but eventually I will swap the OEM rotors for Girodisc and be back in a good weight class
The weights posted are the min for the lightest wheel design they make (not the design I chose)
@Eckos thank you for sharing that info. Their approach to wheel manufacturing is quite interesting. Especially their MAG+ compound. Relatively expensive but a bargain for the weight class. Thanks again.

I love those Advans -- one way to alleviate the visual smallness is to paint the lip the same color as the spokes. I'd have skipped the polished lip to begin with, but that's obv personal preference.
I generally don't like black or dark rims but damn that looks PERFECT w/ your GTS side skirts, painted mirror bottoms, clear side markers! Very OEM++ look. Nicely done!
