Just bumping this up to say that I am going to pull the trigger and get the Starke Design wheels from Tire Rack, in matte graphite, with the O.Z. racing style shown above.
The weight is actually quite good, and Tire Rack does a pretty good job of offering quality products. After considering the cost per wheel and potential need to replace anything damaged some day, it just makes it a helluva value.
I am going to have Tire Rack slap some new Bridgestone S4 summer tires on them and have them shipped out ready to be mounted.
I found dark O.Z. center caps, so I am going to be a poseur and slap them on, too.
For triple the price, I almost ordered a set of Vorsteiner wheels with S4's, but just couldn't look past the value of the Starke's.

Thanks, but I am not looking to jump to 20" wheels.
Anyone else interested? Go for it.
Fake O.Z. centre caps:. Look, I don't take life too seriously, and I don't talk up my car. To me it's all fun.

Not that there's anything wrong with them, if you are the type that can accept the idea of getting what you pay for, then they are an excellent choice! I love my set! Same weight as OZ Ultraleggeras and JWL certified. Porsche specific hubcentirc & offsets. You curb one, no big deal, buy a replacement. What more can you ask for?

Hi John,
Here are the details. I don't have offsets in my receipt from TireRack but they should be able to set you straight. In addition to the wheels I bought a package of spacers from Adaptec that had 7mm fronts and 15mm rears. I only ended up using in rears as the front looked good to my eye without spacers.

front:
19X8.5 STARKE DESIGN BC MGS
235/35R-19 BRIDGESTONE POTENZA S-04 POLE POSITION XL
rear:
19X11 STARKE DESIGN BC MGS
295/30R-19 BRIDGESTONE POTENZA S-04 POLE POSITION XL

Just a comment on the center caps. I have OZ wheels and they came with free centercaps. I set them to the side and used my Porsche Crest caps. That was 6+ years ago. I've gone through some porsche caps, either stolen or falling off. And I have some that need some repair (Long story, not wirth the bother here).
Anyway, I put the OZ caps on about a year or two ago and mostly drive around without anyone noticing. But - two or three cheesy ricer guys have come up to me over that period of time to tell me they have the same wheels on their car. Yeah... I want to switch them when I get around to it, but it's not high on the list.
So - with all that said, I can't imagine anyone wanting to replace Porsche caps with OZ, but maybe I'm just too old to get it...
