so.... i'm not too crazy about these wheels after aLLLL this wait. I might go back to the chrome... not because of the "bling" but because it looked better in my opinion... and the 19s made the car drive rougher, which is my preference - now it drives I more regular and less rugged. I know it's crazy, but I'm not really feeling these wheels... I might end up selling them. see the chrome here:
Versus the forgestars:
Am I the only who thinks the chromes look better?

The rear offsets of those bling bling wheels of yours are completely off... they'll rub your fenders if you corner fast enough.

Does anyone know the size and offset of the forgestarsthat cv used in this thread? That is exactly the look, color and fitment that I am wanting. How do the weight of the forgestars compare to the victor innsbruck? Anyone have any idea? Cv you want to chime in?

I helped him decide on the sizes and offsets. However, I can't remember what they are now . I would suggest sending him a PM.

I'm thinking that the rears were 18X10 with an offset around +42 to +45, and the fronts were 18x8.5 with an offset around +40 to +42, or thereabouts .

Cool, maybe cv still thinks the same and wants to sell them cheap
Seriously though, I think the Gunmetal would look good on a seal grey box. I also like the concave rear offset vs the flush offset of the innsbruck
Thanks danger for the info. Wish I knew the weight. Also are the 19 s hubcentric since they use non conical studs?

I thought that he had opted for 18's ? Anyway, given Porsche's propriety bolt pattern of 130X5, I'm guessing that they're hubcentric. If for some odd reason that they're not, then they probably require a hubcentric centering ring .

I think that earlier in the thrwad it was mentioned that they required hubcentric rings. Odd though that the lug bolts appear to be different bw 18 and 19" wheels?
