Mine are a little differnt. Mine are:

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

Mine were 1200.00 shipped to Louisville, KY. here is a pic of them on a car I sold. I am also putting them on BLACKHORSE. Great wheels. If you have a 95 model do the steering rack brace upgrade reccomended by Porsche.

Wow, Arena, that yellow Cab came out nice. I never saw the car after you completed it. Do those G Force you bought fit a NB car without fender rolling> Also, how much do they weigh?

Mike,
Thats a fantastic looking car. You do a great job.
The wheels are what everyone comments on after their eye sight is restored from the bright yellow.

Jack of Hearts:

They fit a NB car perfectly no rolling needed. Never had a rub issue. Ask Kiwi993 he owns the car now. The wheels are heavier than the stock wheels. I go for the look. I am not sure what they weigh they are heavier.

The wheels 993 pilot refers to are a little different, very close though, A great look for not a lot of $$$.

Kiwi 993:

Won't be long until you can have my avatar. LOL. Although why would you want to change yours. If she lives in Charleston, maybe a road trip is in my future with Blackhorse.

What size tires did you run on them and did the factory crest center caps pop into those wheels?

Thanks

The tire sizes are as follow:

Front: 225/40/R18
Rear: 285/30/R18

Went with Sumotomo HTRZ 2. Got them from Tire Rack for 550.00 Shipped to Louisville, KY

Center caps are part # 995 361 303 05 9A1 got from Gert at www.carnewal.com fitment is perfect. They are 5 prong plastic different from the ones I pictured above they were metal and fit good, but not as good as the ones I just described.
