I always liked them as well, but after I had them installed I couldn't believe how much it transformed the car. They are the lightest wheels I have ever owned as well.

I was lucky to find them for sale fairly local.

I'm excited to finally contribute to a thread! I just bought this yesterday (the car with wheels included that is):

Sorry just saw this.....

Not sure on the exact off-sets, the rears poke slightly, I might take off the 5mm Spacers. The fronts are perfect with the Spacers.

Widths are the same as factory.

Just looked it up-

Front- 8.5 x 19" 5-130 Offset ET-50mm
Rear- 11 x 19" 5-130 Offset ET-58mm

Absolutely love my wheels.

Default TechArt Formula

Poparelly, I really like those TechArt Formula 19s. Anyone have a photo of these on a 997 where they've been polished?

Default the front spoiler...

well, i like this spoiler on your car, have seen it other wise and it didn't look right somehow, but here its lookin good...do you have a thread on the install? where does it come from and how is the fit and finish? i have been looking for quite A while for the right app, and i think i need it for stability as well, front is definitely light at speed, again, lovely...

Thanks guys. It's from GT3Tek. I had a shop paint and install it when they were doing a little paint correction. The car has several TechArt items (wheels, headlight rings, and rear spoiler), but I didn't have the funds to do the TA lip, so I chose the GT3Tek lip. Quite pleased.

Default Tires

Also, hard to tell for sure from the photo, and maybe it's an older one, but looks like it's time for some new rear tires (the outside of Driver's Side Rear looks bald) and maybe an alignment to remove some rear toe.
