The outer rims are highly polished and coated with TSC coating that allows more of the gloss to show instead of a matt finish that clear powder coating shows. Jim
Ryan -- No I did not inquire about specific bends in the outer hoops as you seem to have so much already on your plate I did not think you were ready to move ahead. After reading some of our emails it sounded like if I could not get the bends specifically located in the rim you were not interested in buying new custom sized outer rim halves anyway. So I did nothing.

I think that is one of the nicest front engined water cooled Porsches I've ever seen
Really, a cool car and fantastic wheel set.

A word of caution about alignment.
I took off my Aliseos and put on a set of 996 Turbo OEM wheels last Spring. I autocrossed monthly this year, and wasn't paying attention to tire wear and found out that the outer edges were ground right down in the rear. Fronts were fine. Alignment with the Speedlines was fine under the same conditions, so the differences in offset and width make a big difference.
BTW, the Speedlines are 11 lbs heavier per wheel than the Porsche Turbo wheels.
