Here is a picture of the 18" 5 lug that they made a small run of a while ago. The 19" will look like this, just bigger and the spokes will be a little longer and more curved (depending on size and offset you go with)

Just so everyone is aware. Tye and I will find a way to make this happen. If we end up having to do it ourselves, the price for these wheels will be significantly more than $7750 to cover the risk and cost we're taking to make them..

Bottom line this is the cheapest these unobtanium wheels will ever be!

Oh and PS, most all the info that is being asked is in the original post!!

That image is good enough. Thanks.

So Satin Black fiinish is available and would add $600, correct?

Also was looking at the specs. I believe the 19x9 ET 50 and 19x9.5 ET42 (maybe with a spacer) will work for the Cayman's as well for front and rear fitment using the front wheels we have spec'd...

Can anyone confirm?

Damnnnn… just curious, motorsports polished, does it have a cleared or bare finish?

My GT4 deposit money might be better spent on these.

Bare finish which allows you to polish it as needed. If you were to clear coat it U don't have a lot of flexibility if the clear coat was to chip or get scratched

We'd like to get moving asap. Once we have 4-5 we can go to BBS. We'll need 50% down to start the process. Drawings will take about 2-3 weeks and production after we approve the drawings 8-10weeks

Cross posted in the 997 Turbo forums, 997 forums. Anybody know if we can post group buy threads on 6speed without being a sponsor?

For those interested in running the 9.5" front, Im selling part of the OEM cup flares you could use to do so on your 997.

This is so tempting, but I already have 3 sets of wheels.

Can we get a link to more of these actually on the car? I see the 18s but the 19s will look different.
