My new wheels...
These were originally fully machined. At first I was going to powdercoat just the spokes and leave the lips polished. Last minute I decided to just do the whole wheel. The calipers (RED) will be installed soon they should POP against the black. The Color is a matte black with a Semi Gloss Clear coat.
Before anyone asks the wheels are one piece, Front wheels weigh 22.8Lbs 18X8 Rear 25.6Lbs 18X10. I will post some pics after I get the tires mounted.

To tell you the truth I have no idea... I am waiting for the center caps which were missing, Maybe they will shed some light. I picked the wheels up on ebay new from a private party, they were very cheap. Roock USA had sets of them in the past but I don't think they are the manufacturer.

Sandoval - It looks like you are ready to verify the accuracy of the phrase "it corners like it's on rails." I'll bet that will also eliminate the understeer tendancies. 
Seriously, while I personally am not a big fan of painted wheels, your set up looks good. I can't wait to see the pics of the lowered car with the wheels and tires on it!

I only like the matte black wheels gloss is a bit much. My last 996 had matte black techart FGT's I loved them. Also brake dust is hidden they always look clean. On my 968 years ago I had the RS type wheels with lots of wheel hardware and polished lips they were a bitch to keep clean. Then cleaning them took almost half of the time when washing the car.

I had the rubber mounted this morning. IMHO they look sick! I can't wait to get the Red calipers mounted and see the car lowered with PSS9's... I will post some after photos after I get the brakes and suspension completed.
