Love the wheels. What's the exact width and offset of both fronts and rears?
BTW there's absolutely nothing "mixed" about 225/255 combo. Unless you want serious understeer for some reason.

Thanks for all your great comments 
re the Fister system I think its all been said on this board many times over. I ran the II's for a week with standard Cat (varioram engine) and would describe it as getting a throaty sports sound from 1500 revs instead of 5000. I have the drilled induction box too and engine insulation removed so plenty of soundtrack.
With the Sport Cat 200's added there is more menace and growl - perfect
also more free revving from 2500, up to there feels like its lost some torque.
I have a neighbour who recently got a v8 jeep with quite loud aftermarket exhaust and he goes to work before me so has already set the early morning tone !
Can only add that motorway cruising is amazingly drone free - this is a real step-on-the-gas feature.
re the Fuchs have added some more pics below. They are from the OEM supplier to Porsche who made the 19" version for the 997 Sport Classic. dealing direct by mail order very straight forward and wheels arrived by international courier in perfect condition.
see the factory site at http://www.fuchsfelge.de their prices incl EU sales tax which gets deducted for orders beyond the EU. website could be better designed but there is a fitment guide there and offsets etc.
My rears are 17"x 9" ET55 on a NB car with 5mm spacer under a rolled fender & lowered suspension.
The 18" rim looks like it has relatively more polished outer rim/smaller centre than the 17". I can see why Singer decided that 17" is aesthetically perfect for this wheel style on this size of 911 (i.e. everything air-cooled before the cars expanded in size)
For the price I'm really happy with the quality, look and "original" porsche manufacture.
