And technically it is from the back side. Rim widths are not the overall outside dimension of the wheel, they are the mounting width of the tire.
So if the lip was laying on a table, you would measure from the back side of the mounting face to the part where the tire's bead sits. Since the thickness of the mounting face is the same thickness sitting outboard of the bead, alternatively you can measure as I've shown below in green.

After going back and forth with the specs countless times, I have now ordered a set too. Thanks for all the inputs I got over pm!
I like the concave big color logo caps, are these the correct ones to fit/match the tramont silver? https://www.design911.co.uk/p/wheel-...e-for-porsche/
Does anyone know the OE part number? There are like hundreds of different versions. I will probably order them from the dealer, but I would like to avoid buying the wrong ones at that price...

I have had good luck with the aftermarket caps. They are like $30 for the set and look just like OEMs.

I thought about that but I have read they are not all good quality. But I guess it depends on the seller. Where did you buy them? The OE ones are certainly expensive...
by the way, when I was measuring clearance, I noticed that on the front fenders, in the uppermost section of the wheel wheels, the fender lips are actually angled slightly upwards. It looks like a very mild roll. Is this factory?

If you buy a set - get them spun to check for damage right away!!
I received my Tramonts a month ago and they passed a visual inspection. I finally got around to getting tires mounted yesterday and the tech noted that all four wheels are bent! One even has a nice impact flat spot on the barrel. All are bad enough that he did not recommend mounting tires, so we stopped after the first one. I contacted FD and Darin directed me to Christine at Tramont to get this sorted out. Hopefully resolution is smooth and easy, I assume Tramont will then have to go after DHL. Will post back once resolved.

That is GREAT advice. 2 of mine were bent on arrival as well. One had a noticeable flat spot on the lip/barrel as well. Christine sent me a new outer lip, bolts, and sealant. All good now.
The wheels are nice, their packaging and shipping suck.

it’s nice that they sent you the supplies but isn’t that a little annoying that you have to do it yourself? One of the reasons I bought these Tramonts is that they are assembled and ready to mount. I was considering some vintage Kinesis stuff but I didn’t want to deal with assembling 3 piece wheels and worrying about leaks etc. Also have 2 little kids and really limited time to wrench.

Agree. I was disappointed but still like the wheels and WAY less expensive than speedlines. 😃

That is B.S.! Right there! Damn! I would have lost it! Not acceptable!

Yeah that's a PITA! You would think Tramont would pack these better given past incidences and having to front the cost to replace the wheels/parts and ship again.
