Cost is about $7500 a set.

Weight savings is 32lbs for the set. 19" Dymags are available and are no doubt a bit heavier.

11 x 18 18 lbs. 5 oz.

Looks great, man. Very aggressive!

You had 19s on there stock, right? I'm sure that comparing 19-to-18 in this case is going to be tough, as the weight delta with the Dymags is enormous, but - any input regarding the extra sidewall?

Looks like your PCCBs BARELY fit in the 18s!

Whew....Nice wheels...but way tooooooooooo much black. DEFIANTLY need some contrast their somewhere. While I certainly appreciate your candor and wheels...the whole thing DEFIANTLY does not work for me. The whole color combo makes your car look dull and boring...Sorry....Just not for me.... .

Welcome to the bling-free zone! I'm very dull and boring so it's a perfect fit. Many people don't like the look but I really do.

However, as a counter balance, here's a pic of the garage queen. She probably suits your tastes a bit more.

Wow ... !!

With a C4S on order and a 993 C4S in my garage, I can appreciate your outstanding cars, m'friend.

Excellent choice on BOTH vehicles. I'm definitely impressed.
