I've never been a fan of lobster fork wheels, but that really looks nice!

Looks really good. I've been on the fence on what to get. I really like the look of 5 spokes on the 996.

It looks like you need some center caps.

I’ve got a set of OE Porsche center caps sitting in my garage from one of my older cars. They’re yours if you want them - just pay shipping. They’re silver with the Porsche crest in black.

EDIT: I just went out to the garage and looked at them. They were the caps that came from the factory on my 997 turbo, and I replaced them with colored crest caps. The surface is polished, to match the 997.1 turbo wheel. I think they might took funny with your new wheels.

WOW! I have a friend with a cayman and it looked really ugly, but somehow on this car it looks really good!

Thanks. The handling is way better now. I just took these pictures. I don’t have spacers in the rear. We tried the 10mm to see what it looked like, but it rubbed. I’m surprised yours doesn’t.
