For $2500 you are very close to a set of custom-offset CCW forged wheels ($2800). No lip on the CCWs, but they are lighter and stronger than most alternatives and will fit perfectly. Quick turn-around (at least that was my experience).

Yeah, the lip is a little extreme..not as crazy as some of the "DUB" magazine type stuff I've seen, but these are at "the limit of good taste". There are a few other wheels they carry (BBS style spokes), but I'm a fan of the five spoke cosmetic and can only "assume" that these should be a little lighter than that style in this price category. The other ones I'm considering are these

or the Victor Equipment Lemans. My O.Z.'s were great, but they don't make the Vela in that size/style any longer...plus, I don't want to fork out more cash since i wasn't "planning on" making this purchase at all a week ago!

I don't care for the wheels because they look too much like the "lobster fork" OEM wheels on the 997.1 cars and, IMO, those are the fugliest wheels Porsche has offered.
