Default Black wheel recommendations

What do you think of these black Vorsteiner's? http://www.vorsteiner.com/Wheels/1PieceCast/CS-01.aspx#

They are not available for the 996. Does anyone know some that are similar in design, black, and in 18" sizes?

Do you plan on lowering car?

My car is lowered and am running 45 front and 55 rear offsets with 0 rubbing.

42-50 front will be fine and 55-65 rear will be fine.

Stock offsets are 50 front and 65 rear....the lower the number the further the wheel will stick out.

Hope that gives you an idea.

FORGE STAR 14 style wheel
Available Sizes

18"
18×8.5 offsets from +26 to +50
18×9.0 offsets from +20 to +55
18×9.5 offsets from +26 to +60
18×10 offsets from +16 to +42
18×11 offsets from +23 to +55
18×12 offsets from +36 to +68

I would go with a !8x8.5 front at 45mm and a 18X11 rear 55mm. If you plan on lowering the car you will need a slightly stretched rear tire. I have a 10.8 in tire on a 11in wheel.
