I have been looking for wheels for some time now that look nice while updating the car (not to bling. bling either), sit flush without spacers, wider wheels, not cost more then buying a new economy car and very important weight considerable less then my Forged stock 997 wheels.

I think I have hit the nail on the head, but think it's odd that I have not seen these around here on more Porsche's especially with it filling all the above!!

Most light weight wheels I was looking at look nothing like these and are very "blah" or they look very bling. Even the wheels I have really liked liked the 360 Forged SL10's are gorgeous wheels, but are heavier and almost two times the cost!

These wheels have the concave look, update the car, Light weight (as in saving 20lbs off of my 997 turbo forged wheels!) and the price EVEN AT FULL retail seam like it is too good to be true!

I am leaning heavy towards these wheel, so if there is something that the Porsche world knows about theses wheels, I am eager to listen.

I did the math with the seller for the offsets of these wheels and they would fit and fit pretty flush with my 305 in back and 235 in front.

Is there any wheels experts here that might confirm that it would fit, being these wheels that are 12" in back especially with these offsets (see above)or if I would have any problems with them?

Thanks

I don't know anything about them, but they are nice looking wheels. Not sure about the offsets. I always get them backwards when I try to calculate them,

You will need a 14 MM spacer in front and 6 MM on the rear to get to stock - maybe you want to push them out a little. They look nice though. I like the concave effect.

With those calculations did you take into account that the rim is 1" larger at 12" then the stock 11"?

I currently have 7mm on the front and 14mm (305 tire) in the rear on my 997 turbo wheels. My rears stick out about 3mm to much because of the 305's, but would be perfect with the stock 295's. After I did some calculations my wheel would pull back 5mm in from the rear fenders from where it sits now.

Sorry was based on 11. I missed that part. Is the car lowered at all or stock suspension? Forgot to ask that.

I would think you would need a 17 MM on the rear with the 1 inch running a 315 tire. Not sure how that would look. I would think it would stick out. I will let someone with 12 inch rims opine on that.
