I ran into this Forgestar F14 (which I also like) and ended up calling them. The price is slightly more than Victor (though eta is 6-8weeks), but they customize the offsets for you so no spacers necessary (technicians @ the factory will figure it out for you based on your requirements - stock setup, mod suspension, lowered, tire size, agressive/flush look, etc). They'll guarantee fitment this way. Or if you really know what you want, I guess you can give it to them.
Their specs look pretty impressive for the price (i.e 18x8.5 ET48 = 17.6 lbs, 18x10 ET42 = 18.2 lbs). Some questions:
anyone who used these wheels before
will 18x8.5 Front fit with no issues at all - any downside compared to 18x8
what would be the ideal offsets (attaining a "flush" look) if I go with 18x.85 and 18.10 setup
What do you guys think of this Forgestar F14 on a 987 - think these are 19s but looks nice

There's at least a couple of members here with Forgestars . As far as size and offset (s) are concerned, either an 8 or an 8.5 inch wheel will fit fine. With the correct offset, my preference would be the 8.5 inch wheel . Keep in mind, however, I would not rely solely on Forgestar's advice alone when choosing fitment . I recall one case, wherein they made a bad recommendation to a forum member regarding offset . If, indeed, you decide to purchase a set, I recommend that you consult some forum members before deciding on a fitment spec . Suspension set-up, tire size, ride height ect... play a critical role in deciding the correct offset .
