Looks fantastic and unique now.

 

Wow!!!

 

Amazing!! I have a particular affinity due to my old car with similar wheels... Wow!

 

Wowow! Love the retro look! Well done!

 

Thank you very much for all the nice comments!! I really appreciate it.

Extremely happy with the end result!

 

Wow, looks great! I bet you can't stop looking at it

 

Thx!

I think I'm going to sleep in the garage tonight

 

Looks great, congrats! I've been thinking about going 18" too...

 

I'm of the opinion that most aftermarket wheels DO NOT look good on 997s. These, however, look great.

 

Well, now you've done it. Gotta do the ducktail now to finish up the retro look.

 

Thx! I think the key for the 18s to look good is the stance. Car needs to be lowered and the wheels pushed out to the fender.

Thx! I actually think the same regarding aftermarket wheels on 911s in general. That was one of the main reasons why it took me so long to make a decision.

Haha I'm contemplating that idea. Problem is I really like having a moveable aerodynamic device on my car and if I go with the ducktail I would lose that. We'll see what happens!

 

If it was me, I would go with longer bolts. I've used spacers on a lot of cars, and the on,y time I didn't get hardware to suit was when I had 1mm spacers on my S2000 for just a little bit more caliper-spoke clearance.

 

I have a set of World Motorsports Ti Lug bolts that were on my Cayenne for less than 1,000 miles that won't work with my new widebody wheels, as they have the conical seat instead of the ball seat. Cayenne bolts are the same spec for seat, thread size, and pitch, only the length is slightly longer. World sells these longer ones for $290. I'll knock off $50 and sell them for $240 shipped. Let me know.

 

What was the difference in weight vs stock? Thanks,

 

I bought them for the zero maintenance finish. The little bot of weight savings that close to the rotational center point really won't matter. Weights might be on their website or in other posts.
