Craig, thx for the picture. Did you order the recommended offsets from Tirerack? Are u using spacers? Would love to see a picture from the rear/side to see how "flush" your wheels are...

amerlemans, these look like 20. Are they 19's??

For your color car this looks great. Mine is silver though and think I need more contrast...

No, they are 19's --- Probably just the angle at which I shot the picture.

The 20" OZ were on the car when I bought it from the PO. I'm pretty certain he went with the Tirerack recommended offsets.

Just ran to the store to pick up some odds and ends and found an elderly woman peering in the passanger side window when I came out... said she used to drive older Porsches back in Ohio in her younger days. Loved the car... the wheels are what she first noticed and drew her to the car
