Default New wheels! Bronze on guards red 997.1

I've been waiting on these for a couple months and they finally arrived .I ordered in silver and had my powder coat guy do a "volk" bronze on them. Also too this opportunity to add RSS black wheel bolts. The rear is super aggressive. I need to dial in a little negative camber, but im super stoked on the look. I prefer 18's with a little more meat than the factory 19's.

Those look awesome! Would love to try wheels of that color for my black .1GT3. May have to do a plastidip experiment...

Bronze looks great on black.

EDIT: what's the rear tire size?

Fronts - 18x9 +46 245/40/18

Rear - 18x11 +40 305/35/18

Tires are Toyo R888R so they are very square and sticky.

Why would you get rear wheels narrower than stock?

Love the look my friend. I've considered those wheels several times and just haven't pulled the trigger. Very well done! Hope you're well! Best Josh PS I found the cover of the Excellence Mag with my SC that looks like your SC but not nearly as nice. I'll shoot it to you off the board.

From the picture, the rear tires seem to still poke out past the fender. Be careful. Would hate for the rear fender to get damaged from interfering with the rear tire under full compression.

When I get some free time I'll get it on a lift and cycle the suspension. I'm not driving it hard enough daily to even get close. It hasn't rubbed at all thus far.
