Default New paint and New Wheels!

So I decided to try this wheel company out of Hong Kong and I must say I am impressed. The wheels took 15 days to be built and another 10 days to be shipped to me.

The quality is on par with mid range companies like Stance Wheels, Rohanna Wheels, Ferrada Wheels etc. Similar price point as well. $2k. I always liked the look of the 991 GT3 style wheel so I went for it.

I'm still trying to figure out the center caps. Because I do want to use the Porsche crests with these.








Specs:
19x8.5 et54 (10mm spacer added)
19x11 et48 (no spacer needed)
Michelin Pilot Sports 4S
235/35/19 & 305/30/19

you have to paint them and match the paint, but the gold is going to blend it with the logo in your case

Did you use black wrap/vinyl in the diffuser area? Looks good, something I have been thinking about doing something similar.

They look good.

OP, can you share the manufacturer?

From a quick search I'd say they are these https://www.ebay.com/itm/19-STAGGERE...EAAOSw4e1dNypE

Hey sorry guys! Busy with a 4mth old baby 👶 lol! Yes that's the manufacturer! They make these in Gold, Silver, Bronze and Gray, in 19's and 20's. They make reps in a bunch of 991 wheel styles that fit 997's.

I like his communication because you can also reach the seller via WhatsApp and he responds when you have questions.

Thanks everyone for the kind words!!!

So thats what I think I'm going to do, but maybe leave a silver lining around the logo.

So when I got the car painted, I asked them to paint that area black and in the exhaust curves as well.
