We're still finalizing offsets (within a few mm), but safe to say that there will be a 8.5" & 9" F option from the get-go. As far as rear specifications, are you inquiring about a narrow or wide-body?
This is the first round of renderings, so I know this isn't a Cayman - but a hint of what's to come! Here's some visual excitement for your Monday - a sneak peek of satin black APEX SM-10 on a Sharkwerks 3.9L GT3RS - Enjoy!
Please feel free to reach out with any inquiries and/or questions.
There will be more wheel finishes posted this coming week, so stay tuned!

Inquiring about both, same as the 987 wheels. I own a 997S but we set up plenty of all of the models for track duty. The option for a 9.0 front is a good choice. Hopefully available in a more standard 51(ish) offset and a slightly more aggressive 44(ish) offset.

Yes, our thoughts mimic each other. Our proposed 9" front fitments will include offset(s) in the range of ET44-49. For the narrow-body 996/7 rear, I'm planning for an 11" ET60, 11.5" ET62, and 12" ET65~ish. Seems like the go-to setup for wide-body 996/7 applications are 12" rears, which we're planning on an ET44. These are subject to slightly change pending further community feedback and on-car testing. I'm entirely open to enthusiast's opinions and desires, so feel free to let me know what you think would be your best fit!
Here's a sneak peek of a Cayman R on 18" Anthracite SM-10; this rendering closely resembles 18x9" ET44 (profile 1 concavity), 18x10" ET38 (profile 2 concavity).
We have silver and satin black ready to show, so please let me know if you'd like to see!

Your 987 9/10 combo set up is good. You can run 10.5 in the rear easily, though not real benefit. You could drop the 10 to 35mm as well if you wanted.
On the 997 widebody there is no real advantage going to a 12 over a 11.5 if a 19 like shown on the Green Car above (at least they look 19). A 12 inch wide rear is too wide for a lot 305 section tires. In 18 you can go wider and take advantage of the 12.0.

Thank you for your feedback. To compare against my proposed fitment spreadsheet(s), what offset would you suggest for the 10.5" 987 rear? For the 981 GT4, we have a 19x10.5" in the works, but that will be introduced after our 18" options tailored to the 996, 997, 987, 981, and others.
I'm in search of a proper car for this specific project. Finding appropriate pictures for this use is surprisingly difficult - I need extremely large high-res pictures to properly render. If I do not take them myself track-side, in-house, or at a local shop, they have to be the exact angles we need, appropriate lighting to accurately show the wheels, and the focal length and resolution needs to be within a very specific range. Finding something as specific as that is difficult, but doable. I have a few cars in the rendering queue (no white 993, unfortunately) - though I don't think you'll be disappointed.

White Cayman... (sold the 993) Building SPC Cayman, car is getting a cage now, or I could take one myself.
The renderings you have look great, where do I send my money?
Reminds me of an Amy Schumer line: So I met [pick a Hollywood hunk]. I was speechless, all I could do was grab my ankles and say "pick a hole"....

Very cool - Can't wait to see it finished! While running with NASA at Sonoma Raceway a few weeks ago, I saw an increasing amount of SPC Cayman; they look extremely capable and like a fun, competitive series. I'm looking forward to seeing more and more.
We're shooting for our 18" SPC Cayman wheels to go into production early spring 2018, so pre-orders/pricing details will be incoming shortly.
