Darin -
The GT3 replica's (18" et 54 etc.) look fantastic on your 993 cabriolet, the blue exterior color isn't to shabby either.. Come clean, who makes these 18 inch GT3 replica wheels. Are these replica wheels widely available?
I think i've found a wheel (other than the stock 993 types) for my '98 993 C2S.

They are low pressure cast.
LOW PRESSURE CASTING
Low pressure casting uses positive pressure to move the molten aluminum into the mold quicker and achieve a finished product that has improved mechanical properties (more dense) over a gravity cast wheel. Low-pressure casting has a slightly higher production cost over gravity casting. Low pressure is the most common process approved for aluminum wheels sold to the O.E.M. market. Low-pressure cast wheels offer a good value for the aftermarket as well. Some companies offer wheels that are produced under a higher pressure in special casting equipment to create a wheel that is lighter and stronger than a wheel produced in low pressure. Once again in the quest for lighter weight, there is a higher cost associated with the process.

Love this thread...and the wheels on 993S's Vesuvio
Call me a purist, and even though I considered some other possibilities I decided to stick with the stock 17" OEM, especially with the steel grey colored centers matching the contrasting accents on my 97 Vesuvio S
P.S. Just joined...this is my first post - happy to be here

Alright, stop it! Stop posting pictures of your car with these wheels!!! I still have these wheels in boxes and I thought I was in love with my Fikses and you're making it VERY difficult to not buy some 18" tires and mount them up! Arghhh!
OH nevermind, keep em' coming, they are just dead sexy!
