Anybody know where I can find pics of this? I've been searching for weeks all over the net...
Don't really care if it's 19" or 18"...
Thanks !!!

great looking wheels. Yes they are 19s and oem. Only downside is that every p car on the road has em especially here in miami where there is 997, 997tt or cayman p car on every corner, lots of caymans have em now too. there goes the exclusivity, other downside is they are as heavy as anchors, may even compete with RUF's five spoke in the weight category. When doing a weigh in when i switched wheels saved 36 lbs between all four wheels with my new monolites.

I too think they look better than I anticipated. But the weight issue is a big deal. The stock turbo twists are quite light, around 21lbs if I recall correctly. If the stock 997TT wheels are close to the weight of Ruf wheels, they we're talking around 27lbs per wheel, or 24lbs more of unsprung weight for the car. One wheel techie that reviews OZ Superleggera wheels (search Google) claims that each additional pound of unsprung weight on wheels is equivalent to an overall weight gain of 6 lbs. If true, that would imply adding aroung 145lbs more weight to your 993tt with 997tt wheels Ugh.

I like the machined face with black out. Does anyone know if the 11 inch rear will fit a narrow body car?
