Sounds similar to Iron X.

My scepticism of such products vanished with my first use.

Looks like some serious stuff. Hard to get in USA. Ebay only.

I've also lowered 25mm with H&R blue and Bilstein B8 Sport shocks.

Big improvement in handling without compromising ride too much.
And I like the way the wheel fills the arches and is flush with the bodywork.

5mm was enough to get stone chips down the side of my car

My MK2 GT3 wheels sit out perfectly without spacers so I sold my 5mm kit.

I think they will be much easier to clean than most! I like them.

Personally, I like an odd number of spokes better. 5 for me.

When I was looking for aftermarket wheels, this design just looked really good on a 996 with Aero Skirts.
The 9" in the front and the 11" in the rear fit perfect with no spacers.

I just couldn't justify the price per wheel, then this set came for sale only a couple hundred miles away.

BTW, your car looks outstanding

I can't check since I am out of town but if I recall these are the following:

Front: 8.5x18 ET40
Rear: 10x18 ET47.5
No spacers

I will need to confirm though when back in town.

I currently run with MK2 GT3 wheels.
