Installed these today. GT3 replica wheels from Wheel Dynamics.
18x 8.50 18x 10 and 17mm spacers for the rear.
I really like the look of the 19 Sport classic Fuchs, but didn't want to go with 19's.
So I went budget with a Fuchs styling finish.
Satin center, polished lip/barrels. Not the best photos as it was a quick swap and back to work today. Still trying to decide if I like the look...
I will say the service and attention to detail from Eli Sesma of Wheel Dynamics was fantastic, and the wheels came out great!

Put the stock rims/tires back on this weekend and did a little recon up the mountain passes. Fortunate to have some amazing mountain roads, with two alpine passes about 30 miles north of my home. Yesterday was better than usual, with zero traffic and the road all to myself.
The car got a very good workout and I a new appreciation for C4S
Molas Pass elev. 10,950

Had H&R lowering springs and Bilstein B8's installed on Friday.
Huge improvement in looks and ride height! Overall the suspension feels tight and a bit stiffer but not harsh at all. Very worthwhile upgrade for $2000 parts/labor. Ride height came out much better than I expected, car looks the part now 😎

No kidding, those leather seats are brand new, incredible for a 13 year old car. Glad you snatched it before the dealer, they would sell that car right away with that kind of mileage and options... Enjoy it to the max! Cheers,

Curious... why did you put the stock turbo twist wheels back on the car? Second thoughts?

Well, if I hadn't just bought some Carrera II replicas, I'd probably take you up on the offer, but thank you! I was just curious why you had gone through the trouble of having them customized (i.e. painted black) and put tires on them only to go back to the original OEM twists that came with the car.
I'm a stock kind of guy too, but I would consider the silver GT3 replicas since they're very close to the OEM. The rear offset is a little different, but should be close enough to work for the narrow bodies. Hope you enjoy the C4S, it's a very sharp car!
