Peter, your car looks great. I have almost the same car, currently with a Fabspeed x-pipe. Thinking about adding the gundo hack as well- I hear the two together sound really good, but haven't heard any cars so equipped in real life. Do you feel your's is too loud for a neighborhood at startup?
I bought my HRE P101's and H&R springs thru Wheels Botique and 100% happy with the outcome. I've got center locks so spacers weren't an option but made up for it with proper offsets.

Thank you! I think it's ok throughout the day, starting the car at midnight might get some neighbors mad lol (cold starts are loud even stock on these cars). I have a garage so it's a non-issue, I dislike obnoxious exhausts and I would still prefer louder over this setup especially when fully warmed up.

Car looks great! You cannot get custom offsets in the flowforms, otherwise it would be a no brainer for me. I think i'd need to run 18-20mm spacer on the rear with the FF01, that's what I am concerned with.
To be honest with you I would highly recommend spacers with the FF01's. The FF01's aren't aggressive & your lowered right height will only dramatize that. From a quality standpoint there is no comparison between the two you are considering. Feel free to give me a shout when you're ready for the FF01's, I'll take care of you on pricing & service.
Thanks, I just can't stomach spending that much on wheels and needing to run 18mm spacers. I don't understand why the wheels have these offsets since they are vehicle specific to start with. The FF01 for the NB cars is +7mm stance, on the WB cars its +16mm over stock, why the difference? If they were both +7mm, the WB wheels would be almost perfect fit on the NB, but instead they poke +5mm past the fender/quarter

If you PM or email me I may be able to find other options for you.
FlowFormed wheels need to be built in fitments that can fit multiple vehicles so that it makes more sense for the wheel brands to produce them. The fitment need to be conservative because they know that not everybody looking to get aftermarket wheels wants something aggressive. You can always add a spacer for those that want it more flush but you can't go backwards for those that want it sitting a bit in. Just so that other interested parties are aware, the FF01's do not require spacers in order to fit, it is only a recommendation.

You can fit a 19" wheel with an ET 50 (rear wheel) on a narrow body without any poke. Porsche's offsets are so conservative that you can fit their OEM wide body wheels on a narrow body without issues. If you're ordering new wheels, I would suggest getting the proper offset you want over adding spacers to achieve the same look.
1st off incredible Photography skills, inspiring actually. You got me looking for a new lens lol!
2nd Awesome car platform
3rd Tasteful mods can't wait to see the new rims.
4th nice to see local Ontario plates on that bad *** ride!
Peter, since our cars are basically identical I have been following this thread closely. If you like the HRE FF01, have you considered their FF04? I think its gorgeous, but I confess I don't know whether the offsets are closer to your liking or not. Here's a stock pic:

I did consider the FF04, I even liked it more than the FF01 initially until I photo-shopped it on the car. Something seemed off, does not suit the 997 in my opinion. It also has the same offset issues (in my case).
I placed the order for the BC Forged KL12 yesterday. I will post specs and more details shortly.
Yesterday I placed an order for the BC Forged KL12 in a Brushed Clear finish. I reached out to Duwerke as he is a master of fitment and I went with his recommendation on even more aggressive specs:
On Monday BC Forged will send me 2D renders of what the wheels will look like with those specs for approval, after that they go into production! They said it should take around 5 weeks.
Here are some pics of the wheels and photoshop edits I made:

I agree, I went ahead with the BC's and gave them my specs. The wide body HRE FF01 would poke out about 6mm according to my calculations. The factory W.B. wheels would be no issue to use for sure (they would still need spacers).
Those will look very nice. They remind me of the HRE P40sc wheel, which I'm not sure you can get anymore. Very classy yet aggressive look. Good choice. Waiting 5 weeks is going to kill you!

What's the ballpark amount for something like this?

Thank you! Yeah, the wait won't be fun, hahaha. They do look like the P40SC, loved those wheels and I don't think they make them anymore. The FF01 has P40SC styling cues as well, I have a soft spot for this look.
