I recall them from looking a lot like the ones that first came on the Caymans. A nice looking wheel. I imiagine they are easier to keep clean than all the others.

Dan, I'll double check my offset specs, but they are original wheels from a 2009 997.

Nope, those are the correct specs for 997.2 C IV Wheels - same as I have, but mine are not that cool black chrome - those look great. Did they come like that or did you have them done somewhere? Center caps too - really nice looking.

Default Black Chrome on Aqua Blue

Unfortunately, I sold the car shortly after I had the wheels refinished. I almost want to buy another 997.2 just for the wheels, but it's not in the cards at the moment. Thank you for the comments. They were refinished by Prince Wheel Service in Monroe, NC. http://www.princewheels.com/ Justin Prince is an awesome guy with which to work on a project like this.

I previously used Wheel Enhancements (West Coast), but had a much better experience with Prince Wheel Service (East Coast). Their website isn't great, but their quality and service is First Class!
