About the lugs, I thought I would have to cut them a little but I guess I was wrong.

They look great. i was looking at the CCW wheels before, but their other pattern was close to Fiske FM10's and I had those on my 930S and they were a biatch to keep clean. (Im also very lazy in cleaning my trackwheels). Now you've opened a whole new door for me.
I won't do Hoosier if you don't :-). I can't do Hoosier again anyway, I drive to the track. Besides, you know that you are in a win/win situation. If you keep up, or beat me, you're a better driver. If I leave you, you can blame it on my car being an RS. Either way, you win, I loose

The 997 GT3 should have gold collars at the front and red collars at the rear (5mm longer bolts).
Those wheels look like these ones (10"/12") with 285/335 currently.

These are the strongest wheels CCW has built to date, word from John, and word from me after 1 year with them.

Next weekend they will go to the Spa. That is, cleaning, polishing, weight reading, and pictures.
They're in such great shape that I've to say thanks for the favor.

erik, your feb build RS should be reaching you in a few weeks i bet. if you do get the CCW wheels in 18" please let us know the offset, wt and if you are keeping the spacer or not. by the time you have it all set up, my car should arrive and i would love to have a set of CCW corsairs aka C14's.
another dumb question: why not just the wheel studs? i acutally like the look of studs sticking out. but dont know where to buy nicely made studes, bull nosed with no thread at the tip. i don want just some cut off threaded rods.
