Not sure I like the front offset he came up with. I want an 19x8 front and 19x10 rear wheels. I asked him what the offset would be on those and he said ET50 front ET40 rear. The rear would work perfect, but I think the front needs to be ET45. Anyways I doubt I go that direction as that cuts into my suspension money. I was really looking at going no more then $2,200 for wheels, tires and any spacers needed.
and that wheel is just a rendering. just imagine the real forged thing on a freshly detailed Porsche car.... low profile tires, clean calipers... you'd freak out I think. You can also tell just by touching it - gods metal feeling. Mounted on any pcar model, doesn't matter.

Very unfriendly wheel and not cheap I agree but you get half of your money back when you sell the car, pffff lol Might as well borrow some nice rollers in the meantime. Very unfriendly as = you should see how "total retarded" I look like sometimes especially when backing up my car somewhere I'm not familiar with. Not to mention looking at a pot hole in front of you real-time.... you almost see your whole life memories flashing in a half-a-sec lol (I grew up poor apparently!)

Sometimes I think people not spending more than 300~500 on a wheel are the smartest. On the other hand, if you are to keep your pcar toy for another 20* years then I say you'd be silly to buy a cast wheel

Depends mate. I know where you are at atm, was looking for wheels not very long ago. "good luck" lol
