Does anyone know if they are acceptable quality? I don't do alot of sliding around anymore, I mainly use the car for nice, top down trips with the wifey, and she screams louder than the tires squeal!!

I know the Pcars guys, I was actually at there new shop on tuesday helping them setup wheels on the wall. The quality from Pcars is very very good. I've seen some awesome before & after on refinishes, custom paint and repair on wheels, Of course they back the stuff they sell. I'll vouch for them 100% and i have a decent rep here on 986forum.

Thanks CJ, that was the info I was looking for.

Thanks to Perfectlap for the CCW link. I had lost them in a hard-drive meltdown, I was interested in using their wheels on a race project that fell through couple years back.

Check these out: http://www.ccwheel.com/files/wheelprofiles-display.php?id=C140

They have 18x8.5 and 18x9.5, but I don't know the et on them.

If I remember the Carreras that fit the 987 are 18x8 et 50mm front and 18x10 et 47mm rear.

Those are nice but damn they are pretty expensive starting at $2700 and the smallest wheels starting at $675 each. Either wheels you decide to buy, Im sure they will look great on your car!

I thought I had a set of these, off a Cayman S, for 1500 bucks, but it turned out to be misrepresented. They wouldn't fit the box.......

I had those BBS wheels on a previous car. Both front wheels dented just like my factory Carreras. Paid $65 to get the dent removed and sure enough they dented a second time.

Reminded me of my Cannondale bicycle. Forked over $1000 for a frame. Went out for a ride came back, leaned the bike against a table..bike fell over and hit the edge of a chair. DENT...size of a quarter, talk about an eye sore. Cannondale said solly buddy you bought it you bent it.

Go for the good stuff if you plan on keeping the car long term.

Brumos has them on a Meteor Gray C4 in the showroom. I get a woody lookin at it!

You need to get out of New Jersey, Perfect lap. I've never dented a wheel, down here in Florida. I did ruin two on my Acura CL on Long Island.......

I go down to FL every month to visit family and friends.
Roads are great but man to a city guy FL can be zzzzzzzzzz.
