He's def got it. They're brand new. Not sure why they were made initially. Guess someone bailed on the order. Perhaps the offsets are diff on the RS and that's why he didn't mention it. Or maybe he didn't think you were cool enough to rock his super special wheels

I didn't keep them though as I thought it would look dated in the 997.

If you're looking for CCW in 18, John has a set of discounted C10 rears for the GT3 in stock right now. The lips on the rear are milled out for weight savings. It's hard to explain. I'm sure he'd be happy to send a pic. I think they look kind of cool but decided not to pull the trigger on new wheels right now. He said he make a pair of fronts to complete the set and it would take a week. No discounts on the fronts though.

As far as 3 pc wheels leaking air, I've had some very very expensive 3 pc wheels that leaked. I'm guessing it's just a tradeoff with the design. It didn't start right away but got worse over time. I won't do multi piece wheels again.
I was planning on sebring next weekend....for pca event....am I correct on weekends?

Must have confused weekends, I can't be there this weekend

I know of seats available less than 6000 shipped to Florida no sales tax....
