Got the CCWheels!
Received the CCWheels today! I picked the 18" T10s as I posted before. I weighed them with the tires/Mich PS Rib. They are significantly lighter than my OEM Sports Design with Contis.
CCW T10s with Mich PS Rib(18")
F 41.8 lbs (18X8.5)
R 48.2 lbs (18X10)
OEM Sports Design with Contis(18")
F 44.8 lbs (18X8)
R 54.6 lbs (18X10)
I'm not affiliated with CCW, just a happy customer. These small co. is in Daytona, FL. John, the owner and hands on maker of the wheels, took the time to explain the process on how they make them out of forged 6061 T6 alum blocks. I've been working aviation maintnenance for 20+ years and I could tell how nicely and carefully these wheels were made. The custom billet alum center caps with OEM Porsche crest are awesome too.

I've seen a couple of Listers here that have the different designs too.
I picked the T10s primarily for their widely spaced spokes(but plenty enough to any future track use) for ease of washing(easy reach to the inside of therims).
Here are some pictures. I know the 19s would have fill up my wheel wells really good, but I like these 18's for performance.

Very nice looking wheels, grats!
Any issues with the 8.5" front vs. the standard 8"? I was disappointed to see that they don't offer it in 18x8.
Any chance of some close-up shots? The pics on the CCW website are really distant, as are yours. Your model is much nicer than the one they use ('vette), but I'd still like to see more detail, up close and at angles.

The wheels were $2700. I added the PS2 for tire rack price, and $55 for each of the locking billet alum center cap pieces with oem porsche crest which are every nice.

I'm sure the 19" version of these would have filled the wheel wells for looks better. But I chose the 18s for performance and ride feel.

Thanks Amir. Yes the spokes are thin in the front but are thicker in the back side for strenght. They're tapered as you could see in this pix. John really did good on the design of these IMHO.
