Generally I'm not a fan of 19" wheels on air-cooled 911 cars, but...

I am with ya, these are 18's surprisingly (thats what the post in 6speed says anyway.) I think its because the spokes go out close to the lip making them look bigger

Front 18x9 18.1 lbs
Rear 18x12 20.1 lbs

Wow! They don't look it. Just tried to click on the 6speed link you posted but got a Database Error. Then I remembered it's run by the same company that owns Rennlist these days

Not bad. I'd like to see them without any center caps, as they look a bit awkward with them in place.
How much are these bad boys?

Interesting wheel widths, wonder what size tires he's using. Impressive nevertheless!

I am going to try and visit GMG next week when I am in LA, they are only 20mins from my hotel. See if I can get some more info on them,
It looks like they are running a 225 on the front the way its stretched. With those wheels a 245 on the front would be perfect.
