Did not go on my 993 though, but on the other mistress and I think they look absolutely fantastic:

On a similar note, I had a hankering for the 997 5-spoke styles, but decided to go with the 19" Carrera Classics for a different look. 11" ET67 in the rear, which required a fair amount of rolling to fit with 285/30R19s (YMMV with regards to fitment).

looks awesome.... thought about those 19" too, but the ride is harsh/rough enough already with 18's. what is proper price for these wheels without tires?

Cheers guys; some have said it looks like a steamroller, but I rather like it! I was surprised to discover that the ride quality change was negligible. Of course, the car doesn't ride all that smoothly anyway with PSS9s. The front tires are 225/35R19, so a slightly shorter sidewall, but the rears are 285/30R19 just like many of you run on 18s with the same sidewall height. The slightly larger overall diameter does make fitment a bit tougher in the rear.
For pricing, I honestly can't say that I know. All I know is that they were too expensive to purchase the OEM wheels, even used, when I was in the market. I located some replicas from a reputable company, and I was amazed at the quality of these replicas. The casting is excellent, as is the machining. They weigh about the same as OEM BBS, maybe just a tad more. The only downside is that upon close inspection, you can tell the finish is not as excellent as the BBS finish. If someone is interested, shoot me a PM or post up and I can track down the company. I've had replica wheels before that sucked... but I took a chance and that was not the case with these. I certainly won't be using them on the track, of course, but why do that with 19s on a 993 anyway?
