This is a hot wheel setup. Very unique compared to most of what you see out there. Nice!
Thanks. Maybe I've got weird taste as I always go against the grain and try something new. I like the Rotiform LHRs (please see below photo) but this unpainted set came up here at Rennlist and decided to get it. Decided to resize it to wider widths with lower offsets, painted the centers and polished the lip.

Nothing wrong with that. Styles aren't my cup of tea, but that's why there are hundreds of wheel styles available. Are the current ones of the type where there are left side wheels and right side wheels so the spoke orientations are the same on both sides of the car (angled forward at the hub leading into the direction of rotation) as I know some wheel companies offer that on angled spoke styles and think that attention to detail is great.
How on earth do you keep either of those spoke styles clean though without PCCBs?

It is a PITA to clean them specially where the 3pc bolts are seated. I use a micro-fiber wheel brush and clean it once a month. However, every time I use the car, I spray with water and wipe it off while I am cooling down the car before I cover it. I'm used to cleaning mesh type wheels like the BBS RS style I used to have on my BMW 2002.
I picked up a set of OZ Leggeras from a local guy with slicks for track wheels. Apparently GT4 fitment is basically the same as the WB 997 and is just about perfect on my NB imo. 19x8.5+53 and 19x11+50. 255 fronts and 295 rears.

I love my OZ leggeras. Not sure what wheels you had on before, but I noticed the 4-6 lbs lighter weight at each corner. You can get some Porsche "gt silver" center wheels caps that will match the color of these wheels pretty good. I have the parts listed in this forum if interested.

I really liked the OE RS Spyder wheels, in all black. However, the conservative offset bothered me.
Hence, the switch to OZ Ultraleggera HLT's (custom grey metallic). Per fantastic tips and advice from fellow Rennlisters, went with 19x8.5 ET53 and 19x12 ET48.
A couple of hours ago, shortly after the wheel/tire re&re ...now the girl needs a good wash.

Nice call on the "Sport Classic" lower front lip and wider stance wheels. Looks great!!!

Thanks so much! Funny, was hoping the lower front lip didn't stand out - the night before, sanded and sprayed the 2 vents which were scraped beyond fugly. Turned out completely matte, ughhhh. Need to pick up some proper trim/bumper paint, lol! Wish SEM paint products were available in Canada...

Much thanks. By the way, your forged wheels look amazing.
Am running Michelin Pilot Super Sport - 235/35 19's and 305/30 19's. Was surprised, and relieved the tires still have plenty of tread. Thought I would need new tires by now, whew!!
Further, on sticking with 305's on the 19x12's - I essentially followed what Clubber (Driven 34) did on his 997.2. Great when good folks share details on their tried and true builds
Awesome. Some of the best looking wheels out there imo.
Thanks, I feel the same way about these wheels. Of course, there are lots of great wheel designs out there, but I really like how the Champions compliment my car.

I feel your "pain" about keeping wheels clean. I typically choose my wheels based on how easy it is to clean. With that being said, there are some wheels out there I really like but they also look like a PITA to keep clean.
