regarding custom finish, they do standard silver...like most other Speedlines you see, but also a dark metallic grey, and black.
The picture in your avatar, looks to me like the rear wheels-Cup 1's, are projecting out nicely. Do you have spacers in the rear already? The et and width should be on either side of the valve stem if those wheels are oem. Keep in mind the metric to standard conversions...1"=25.4mm, 1/4"=6mm approx.

So, staying with your thought that most run 5mm spacers all the way around, is ET47/ET60 relatively conservative with 8's and 10's? If I do proceed, then I still may order a factory ET52/ET65 setup.

Absolutely no need to go oem offsets, and then just add spacers after. That however is another of the "rub's" here, just too damn many choices for those of us not very knowledgeable regarding wheel width/et...I know a HELL of a lot more than I did a month ago though.

I went 8 1/2" et45 up front, compared to the 8" et 50 with 5mm spacers I'm currently running. The change nets me an additional 6mm of "poke" toward the fender without utilizing a spacer.
52/65 is stock on some oem wheelsets, but not others. What wheels are you running now, any spacers involved? What tire sizes do you plan on running also?
It can all get pretty confusing.

been tracking exchange rate's over the last 6 weeks...euro v US dollar. I'm thinking this whole government default/shutdown business isn't helping the value of our currency one single bit. Every 1% that the euro gains...costs another $40 for the cost of the wheelset. What once was $2790...is now $2828.
Credit transfer to Tramont for the wheels tomorrow, should be out of production in 3 weeks...then 3 days in shipping. Shooting for early November...actual production details to follow.
Also, possibly two other rennlisters jumping on, could be a total of 6 sets.

IMHO, this is a wonderful opportunity & another example of MagDaddy leading good things for the 993 community
However, I'll take it as divine financial provenance that I just now noticed this thread, after the deadline for buying
IIRC, this 9m93rs is running Tramonts ... nice inset barrels on the back :-)
be a good question to the 9M boys...Tramont offset/width on the RS NB
I'll see if Colin knows on this maritime blue car with the rear barrels so deeply inset, I bet those offsets are different than standard.
If the following's NOT relevant ^^ please forgive. Otherwise, from the "9m93RS Narrowbody Clubsport" thread...
The wheels came on the LHD donor RS, if I get the chance I'll measure them up next week & let you know.

I think it's a great deal. If I had a car I'd be in for sure. Thanks to Joe and Rudy for putting this together and giving others a chance to participate!

I chatted with my 'Chief Financial Officer' last night (under the impression the opportunity had already elapsed) ... red light.
I'll mention your generous update when she awakes & promptly send you a PM if the light turns green
^^ No, that's not her ^^

email from Tramont today, wheels will be ready for shipping next week. New thread with pics to follow. Don't get too excited...it'll just be the wheels. Still gotta get the center caps, get em color matched...and decide on rubber. Might try something a little more special than the Hankook's I usually run.
I just bought a set of 3000 thread count egyptian cotton sheets, and a large comfy goose down pillow...Not for the wheels, for me to be comfortable sleeping in the back shed once my wife see's these new wheels.
