Dymag will offer an upgrade to the Magnalium centers if the customer has issues. Not all wheels have had problems but in cases of future problems will will address these on a case by case scenario. A letter Will be mailed to these customers in the next few weeks.

Dymag has agreed in principal to supply HRE with Carbon Fiber barrels. Dymag feels that this is a good partnership as HRE has a great reputation and will help advance the education of carbon fiber to the world market.

Dymag will continue to develop and enhance the current wheel while also looking to the future with some new and exciting technology.

Dymag will not sell the barrels to just any company only a select few that understand the true testing and engineering of a high performance wheel.

Any side shots of your car? I've wondered what 19" look like on the 993 NB. Those look really nice from that angle.

MY02 5-spokes are always a good choice...add a set of 7mm/12mm spacers and they would fill out the fenders perfectly

What's the maximum size tires you'd run on those with the spacers?

The 996 MY02's are 8"ET52/10"ET65 so I'd go max 235/40 front and 295/30 rears with spacers. The white cab below is running 235/285 Toyo Proxes and you can see that the rear in particular could use a set of spacers.

The front 8"ET52 plus a 7mm spacer gets you an 8"ET45 and you can fit 245 up front but then you'll probably have to go down to a 35 aspect ratio. A neat setup that I was tempted to do would be to track down a pair of Boxster rear MYO2s (which are 9" ET52) to use as fronts with the 996 10" ET65 as rears and you can run 255s on those. My green cab has a 9" ET42 with a 245 tire and it fills the fenders out nicely (sig pic below has an older 8.5"ET45 with 225/40 setup)

Link failure.

Are those larger wheels in the back (19/20" rear, 18" front)?
