Wow, I love the look of these, but they're so heavy Lobsters are so much lighter for the same size. And the real Fuchs ones are $$$
Not true.. 19x8.5 (et-48) 24.7-lbs & 19x10 (et-47) 26.4-lbs OR 19x11 (et-52) 27.1-lbs.
Just because Lobsters are lighter doesn't make this a bad wheel, look at the 18" 993 Twist wheels, those are 18" and are 24-lbs front and 30-lbs rear!!!!

I stand corrected. I thought the lobsters were 20#/23# or so, but they're 22lb 4oz and 27# 12oz, so the fronts are a little lighter than yours, but the rears are about the same.
Do you have customers putting small spacers on the rears? Seems like with the et-52 offset you might want to.

Actually on the standard 996 we offer both the 10" option and the 11" option, the 52-offset will position the wheel further out towards the fenders. To play is safe you can use the 10" wide rears, however if you want to get the most play under there using the 11" I would roll fenders on the pre-3.4-L motors, however if you have the 3.6-L then your fenders are already good to go...
The C4S that is photographed is using a 13mm rear spacer since it uses a wider stance, with the spacer kit on the rear it now positions the rear to et. +39
Tire options will depend on a few things, but if you have questions when ordering feel free to ask for all size options.
Thanks for chiming in..... Let me know if you have other questions!!!

OK thanks. I have an '03 C4S. I thought maybe the 14mm spacer would be the right fit, that makes sense. I figured you were doing the 11" with a non-standard offset so you could put it under the C2 fenders as well as the C4S. I was shopping around for lobsters, but when the difference is only $600 I should really consider these too, and put my pristine stock ones in the garage.

You can also use the 14mm, I would say 12-14mm is safe. 38-40mm range.
These would definitely be a turn in the right direction for sure, the lobsters would also need spacing up front if you went that route since they are a et 57 so a minimum of 7mm in the front to bring it up to stock fitment.
