That's a serious score!

Congrats!

Looks awesome... I am currently using chromed (polished) lugs and they look kind of ricey but the black lugs looked funny on a silver car. What is your plan?

Nothing like a great deal that works out. They look stunning.

Very curious to know the specs on those wheels & tires... I currently own these profil13's (18 x 9&12) that came off of a 997 gt3 (high offsets) & I'd love to know if they'd work on a wb with rear spacers....

they are 315s!
I suppose it will be 335s next time 'round.
Better to have the sidewall doing this than buldging over, at least from a handling perspective

Well, my plan is to NOT give away lug nuts when I sell wheels. I had a set of (new!) polished lugs and gave them away with the last set of wheels I sold.
I think they will be best with these but might try using a scuff pad on the end to better match them to the wheel.

These look great!
I wish I knew the offsets on mine. I tried to track them down but no luck.
I can measure but, to be honest, I am not exactly sure at what point to measure at the wheel rim... I will have to research.

one of those deals where you think it is all going to go very wrong up until they actually show up and aren't cracked

No problem with the offsets. Do you know which type of Porsche they came from? Also, what are the tire sizes you used?

Thanks Mark.

Man I really like those wheels. I love the way the sit nicely tucked into the fender. I would love to know the offset on the 12" rears. Way to go Mark!
