I want to see a better angle of your front offset. I hate the way the center of my LMs poke out a bit past the lip. It looks like your offset is far more aesthetically pleasing.

Well unless I have driven through a mud puddle, which I wouldn't, keeping spoke wheels like this and mine clean is not a PITA. I use a Swiffer duster to clean in-between the spokes and it works great. the key is prep: you must apply a quality polish and wax to the wheel center, yes this will take a little time but worth it. Then every few days (if driven), use the swiffer to clean the spokes and rim of the wheel. If you are like me, then you will have actually removed the wheels to eatil them and so even the back part of th wheel as been done and the swiffer can get in there also. I keep a swiffer in the boot of my car along with Einszett Quick Detailer and a micro-fiber towel.

Thanks to all that like my stance of my car with my wheel clearance, much appreciated. I like the way it turned out, would I want it to be lower, yes, but I cannot adjust it but I do not mind.

I think that Ben's looks good and not too low, but I do understand why some like the equal distance around the wheel/tyre combination.

That is one sweet looking Porsche. I also love the steamroller look. My next wheels will be 11’s in the back.

Pic from my routine grocery run consisting of cereal, milk, ice cream



Per Mr Bonus' request, the face does not go beyond the rim part of the wheel. It has more to do with the LM design than offset I'd say. I know being a three-time BBS LM owner, the center profile is absolutely flat. Even the Work Broms have a slight angle to them, but very subtle to not be able to really take notice.



Perfectly modified Vanquish S my favorite car design of all-time and just how I'd do it up, but would probably go with a silver version



Extra credit: Spyker C8 2500lbs, an airplane company from Holland, at the detail shop I routinely go to ($250K) w/ an RS4/R8 engine. Work Broms would look perfect.
