Soooo... In doing things to my 997 I came across a really nice set of Vorsteiner Wheels for my Porsche. The one issue I had with them was that Vorsteiner's center caps measure 65mm and the standard Porsche center cap is 75mm. All except for the Macan. The Macan has 65mm center caps as I found this out I researched a bit and found someone that actually manufactured some locking rings for the back side of the center caps to hold the center caps onto the rim by sandwiching the locking ring and the center cap to the barrel of the rim. I do not have the facility to turn metal so I decided to use a 3d printer to accomplish the same and used carbon fiber filament to print the locking ring. I followed their instruction but made a slight modification to the thickness of the ring. They used .125 thick metal stock. I after a few test runs printed it with a thickness of 5.25mm which gave the center cap a good seat against the ring and found that it did not feel loose inside the barrel.
Anyhow I want to share what I did so that if anyone else is in the market for Porsche CC on their Vorsteiners you could send the measurements off to print and get this accomplished.
Outside Diameter of the ring was 70mm
Inside diameter of the ring was 48mm
Thickness of the ring was 5.25mm
Yes... 325's in the rear and 245 up front. Lowered a little more than a tad on silvers suspension with swift springs... Was considering raising the rear but too much work for being on the fence if you know what I mean...

I think the ride heights looks perfect. You want about 1 degree of forward rake.
