The Hankooks in that size are over 26" in diameter (26.3" to be precise). THey are almost 1.5" larger than OEM sizing and absolutely the wrong size. If you run 19's you need to run the 25 series tire not the 30.

Thanks for the pics, I really wanted to see how they looked on black. I do like the look of this set on light colors, but they seem almost overwhelming on black. Maybe it's just the photos being a little overexposed or the lighting, I'm sure they look great in person.

I personally think C4S and Turbo look fine with the twists, I'd have shot a smoked clear (just mix in black) on them for a shadow chrome effect, would look amazing.

BTW +1, that rear tire is too tall, way too tall. AWD you want that RD as close to spec as possible. Are you on the stock suspension?

Great look!! Much improved...I thought the 1st set were your new ones and wasn't really feeling it...your new rims look fantastic and really give it the more agressive Porsche look....nice!!

With the AWD cars is also just as important (actually more so) to have the front and rear as close to the same as possible (to be even more precise check out revs per mile by the manufacturer).

Nice but more clean-time.
