They will be on the car when I get the calipers back today. Here is the info on the wheels

OEMSTYLES4LESS
6135 NW 167th Street
Miami, FL 33015
305-821-0045

Wheels:

200 MI HS - G Force Porsche 18X8.5 5X130 +52 -FRONT
200 MI HS - G Force Porsche 18X10 5X130 +58 - REAR

Wheels including shipping 1315.00

They are heavier than stock, but like I said Starbucks and breakfast is all I do. I had to budget (by the way I'm way over) for all mods and didn't want to skimp on the service work. Believe me I want them on the car more than anybody else. I will post the progress. Pics should be flowing soon we are so close to buttoning this thing up. Oh yea no affiliation yada yada.

Nice find guys! First time i've seen these wheels. As you know, we want 65mm offset in rear, so these wheels will stick out 7mm. Even if lowered, that's probably not a problem as long as you stick with 265 tires. 285 wouldn't work.

Yes....when I bid $600 it was more a .... well lets see....if I get them for that I am happy! I got them for that and am happy, had no problems with the seller at all and the wheels we fine.....even if they went south in two years for whatever reason I would feel I had $600 worth of value.....my opion....no affiliation.....is put in a price that is a punt and if you get them you will be happy.....I know at least two others that have them and are very happy so far....one guy bought a set for tracking, he was so happy with them for the price he since has gone back and bought a second set for different tire mounts

What about quality? They sure look fantastic and the price is amazing. I would be worried about safety- remember the problems people were having with the Fuchs replicas cracking? A bit scary...

Any issues to report?

I only did 1,000 miles on mine before I took off and replaced with cups and bizzaks for winter....I did a good inspection and clean before I put them in their covers for the winter....no issues to report....other than I was really sorry to take them off as I loved the look.......and so far we have had warm temps with only two days of snow.....but it might be tempting fate if I put them back on too soon so they will be stored until end of March
