Bronze or Gold....yes please As you can see I like contrasting wheels that pop a bit. Those are stock 2 piece BBS with Subi gold centers.

So Ideally I think as far as wheel specs, The stocks are think are:

8 x 18 50MM
10 x 18 65MM

so -/+7 mm offset would work on those, Spacers are no problem and are easy to use of these cars ( no stud replacement)
Living life on the edge! I wish I could've adopted that mentality with my 996, as the failure rates are so low, I'm not sure it was entirely justified.

Thank you again for clarifying the SCCA restrictions and for sharing your thoughts. Outspoken enthusiasts who are a voice for the community help tremendously with product development.

Been a fan of your guy's products for a while now, took the survey yesterday. Please make 9 & 12's and or 9.5's and 12's (no center caps please)

You will sell many sets to the 996/7 Carrera and GT3 guys.

Thank you for your kind words and sharing your preferences. Seems like our thought-processes regarding fitment(s) are spot on, so rest assured those sizes will be produced.

Those sizes optimized specifically for the 996/7 chassis will be of the first APEX Porsche wheels introduced this coming spring. Our pre-order is right around the corner, so I'll update with more good news shortly.

Cheers,

Thank you to the 700+ fellow enthusiasts who have participated in our survey. It is still live and we're continually welcoming feedback well into our development stages. It directly impacts what we produce and when, so please share your preferences.

I'll have exciting news in the coming weeks, so stay tuned!

Thanks all.

Surprisingly, it's a professional rendering almost directly resembling our 19x9" ET49 (profile 1) w/ 245/35/19 and 19x12" ET44 (profile 3) w/ 325/30/19.

Our finalized wheel specifications are subject to marginally change within a few mm.

Thank you for the kind words!

Huge thank you to Rob (993GT), who kindly provided us with perfect pictures of his perfect 996 GT2.

The front wheels are our profile 1 (least concave) whereas the rears are profile 3 (most concave). Please feel free to reach out with any questions regarding our profiles, finishes, etc. Enjoy!
