I was thinking about using the black and white center caps I currently have on my Carrera Classics

Yes, offsets should work... had a lot of back-and-forth with David at WheelEnhancement about this. Front wheels have same offset as 'standard' 19" 997 wheels... I will put 5mm spacers on those. The rears basically have ~15mm offsets 'build in', so they will look like standard carrera wheels + 15mm spacers.

Very nice wheels indeed. Turbo offsets do indeed work and nicely flush. I was concerned about the Ruf replicas as they're the same offset and they're perfect. I contemplated a set of Turbos. Sure look terrific!

Chris from Cali- I've been looking for the turbo wheels with the NB offset for a 997S. How much are you willing to part with them if you're going to use them for track wheels?
very interested, please pm me

No, standard height... These wheel and spacers do give the car a different look... More aggressive. I really like it.
Have not found any difference in handling.

The BEST looking wheels around. I had a set mounted on my 09 C4S new prior to taking delivery. The OEM's just didn't cut it for me...I think they look cheesy with respect to the flash of the car they're mounted on.
