Here they are on my car, rears have 14mm spacer, fronts are stock. Tires are 225 and 265. If I were not going to use spacers I would think about putting 235 and 275 just to fill out the wheel well a little better.

As far as the weight goes, I don't really feel any power loss. If you are going to be racing in these wheels then yes they are too heavy. When it comes to daily driving they look great, especially for the price. I would gladly be willing to save $1,000 for a couple of pounds in wheel weight.

Wingnut2u, those wheels look SWEEEET. Are those 18" or 19" and did you go with the standard 8" front, 10" rear?

I'm seriously thinking about these wheels now! I will go with the silver because I think it will look better with my Arena Red.

Yes they are the 18" standard 8" front, 10" rear


I also like the 808's but I bought these as a spare set while my other wheels are being repaired. The 808's are $1,600 compared to $800. I opted to save the $$$

Here are the rims I would like to have (car in pic is same color as mine). I see many of them for sale on Ebay but there seems to be many variations and sizes. I see pics like the one below all the time so I know they will fit a 986. How do I know the ones that will work on my 1998 986 Box??? In the adds the offset is almost never posted. Any advice on how to find the ones to fit my car would be greatly appreciated.
