I did buy some Signature wheels a number of years back for an M5 so I'll see who I used.

This is probably the leading contender to replace my oem wheels.....they're absolutely gorgeous and love the brushed clear finish against a silver car (which mine is). I had H&R R101's on my 993, and which look very similar to the K12, but at a very different price point.

Well done, Peter.

Not sure if Peter is still active on the forum, I was interested to see if he needed to roll arches or had any fitment challenges with those offsets, I am speaking to a supplier in the UK and hoping to get a set with slightly reduced offsets, 9x19 ET50(- 7mm less) and 12x19 ET58 (5mm less) and hoping to confirm they will have the same pad choices they look perfect anyone know the pad choices ?

Looks like a high pad on the rear and perhaps medium front ?

Looking at quoted track figures for the 997.2 GT3 they are 11mm increased at the front and run an ET 53 and 8mm at the rear with ET68, so taking this into account the track with my proposed wheels will mean I will have the outer edges of the rims 5mm more at the rear and 7.5mm at the front than a 997.2 GT3 with a 10mm increase in track at the rear and 3mm at the front. I will be 7mm and 5mm less aggressive than Peter's spec

I think this is correct !

I have pulled the trigger on a set 9x19 ET50 and 12x19 ET58

Drawings of the final shape below, I managed to get a slightly deeper pad on the back, the first dressing was 17mm deep, this is 26mm. My set will be satin black for a white car

All that work and you're going with black that won't show the cool wheel details in the dark wheelwells 😂

A brown dark bronze is gorgeous on a white car and far more interesting, but wheels are personal - I just don't like black ones unless they have machined brightwork on the faces to highlight the details.

Used two different sets of BC forged on a couple of NA1 NSX’s I sold recently and absolutely loved them. Very good wheels and a good price point. I bought direct from them due to some figment customization but I think you can get a better deal through a dealer.

I did put a set of Signature wheels on an M5 in 2017, I chose a triple black and wished I'd gone Matt in the end. I lke the matt finish with white, always have !
