they look nice and light - less rotational mass = more spritely acceleration. I think you will still need spacers, 10 -15 MM once you lower. The lower the MM the more the wheel is pushed out and is relative to wheel width, that is if 10 inch, 11 inch etc. Once you put them on and get it lowered you can judge, no substitute for actual visualization with whatever you are doing , construction , problem solving etc . good luck and post pics once you get them on

they are tirerack Stark Fuch replicas, all silver, in a Caymen 18nch fitment- less offset so less spacer needed. Stole them at about $235 per wheel and I customized the insets by painting them black, made all the difference in the look. I like the lip/deep dish look and yes was going for the updated old school look. Its an under stated and cool look in my opinion, get many compliments.

No need to keep up with offset numbers posted here or elsewhere. If your wheels look too tucked into the well for your preference, keep it simple. Put a piece of wood, a piece of PVC pipe or anything solid and long enough to reach above the wheel well against your garage floor and against the fender of the car, front and rear. Then measure the gap between the sidewall of the tire and whatever you have from floor to fender. Whatever that gap comes to is the spacer you need to get the tires flush with the fenders.

Congrats on the new to you ride. I’m also in the market and actually just test drove the exact spec of yours, very sweet! Settled on Silver as that was more my style. Maybe I missed it but suspension are you planning on going with. I’m leaning towards BC racing coils
