Nice looking wheels...they sort of look like the new 19's on the 2009 Carrera S. Can you change the center cap though?

They have a carbon fibre cap, but if you are asking if you can use the OEM cap then no you can't. This is what was holding me back...I want to see if Ralph Boothe has something that will fit.

I would not mind a all carbon looking cap but I am not so sure of useing the Forgestar logo shield on the cap.

I think the wheels look good, not too sure about the emblems but that is easily taken care of if he chooses. I do know that those are the tires going on my turbo when the PS2's are worn. Glad to hear you are liking them so far.

To answer some of the above questions --

The car is lowered - Eibach springs
The wheel finish is Titanium

Hopefully enough guys will get these wheels to make it more cost effective for Ralph Boothe to design a Porsche center cap for Forgestar wheels.

Exactly - they look just like the RS4 wheels.

Thats what I mean...you get the Forgestar logo not the Pcar crest.

I know it seems trivial and vain...but oh well
