JWL (not JIL)... that is a gold standard for wheel strength... nice to know. "Japan Light alloy Wheel" - https://www.jwtc.jp/open/html/e/situmon1.html
I was always gunshy about buying aftermarket wheels... my buddy purchased Tire Rack wheels for his BMW 5 years ago... they ALL BENT! We took the car to a wheel shop in Delaware and the tech didn't even ask us... he immediatly said they are bent and made from cheap Tiawanese steel... "got em at Tire Rack eh?" He said he sees these all the time.

OE wheels aren’t the only ones with proper wheel loading certifications, TUV, VIA, JWL, etc. There are several great aftermarket options out there these days that aren’t outrageously priced. Apex is one of them.

That sizing would be 4mm to aggressive we typically use 19x11 +55
But if you don't mind a slight poke and are up to lowering the car and adjusting the camber you can make it work.

I effectively run ET 51 on a 997.1 C2S. Its with PASM, no lowering, no camber adjustments. They are "decent" aftermarket, being OZ Leggera with ET65, and a 14 mm spacer.
No poking whatsoever, no rubbing, etc. Works like a charm. I would not be afraid of ET 51 on a .1 C2S ...
