Thank you in advance.

What are they called?

They are 18" cayman s wheels.

Not my best work, but here you go...

That was quick. Your amazing. Thank you. I was thinking of picking up a set of these. Thank you for giving me the preview i was looking for.

I think they would look good on your car. Full disclosure dictates I say that I really dislike the ones you have currently.

Please keep your opinions coming.

4th post from the top shows a member with those wheels.

wow that was quick haha. really like that look, i say go for it.

What would you all say is a fair price for a near perfect set with out tires?

18" OEM wheels with no dents or curb rash? $900 - $1,200 depending on zip code.

I cracked one of my factory Carreras and had to find a replacement wheel. Cheapest I could find was one very used wheel that required a repaint (not included) for $500.
18" and 19" OEM wheels fetch good money. I always check Ebay to see if there are any bids on similar wheels or if the same wheel just sits there with a buy it now that none are nipping at.

could not have said it better myself. I think your new wheels are the 2nd best OEM wheel after the 03-04 CarreraII :)

$750 should a good price. Nobody knows how perfect they are until each bare wheel is test balanced on a wheel balancer

Thank you guys. I would probably be selling my wheels in the near future if anyone is interested. I have to see how I like these first. I have to order tires and all that non sense also. If I do pick them up they will sit dormant in my garage till the spring. I am going to see these wheels tomorrow. If they are good I will have pics of them in my tundra :)

BTW, these wheels will cut my car wash time down by at least 10 mins. :cheers:

Exactly, I think about those things before I buy cars. I made the mistake once. I bought wheels with many spokes, 10 or more, and they were a pain to clean.

No brainer, those Cayman wheels look absolutely awesome. I love my OEM 18" Carreras but these are very cool. Definitely look better on the car the the wheels you have now.

I do like the wheels I have now but want something different. I'm getting bored of the look. http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1392068782.jpg

JAAY, might depend on location as far as pricing. I have seen sets of Cayman 5 spoke sell for $600, with tires (maybe 35% tread). They pop up every now and then on craigslist in DFW.

Thanks for the info. I found a local set about 10 miles from me for 800.00 that have center caps and no tires. They are supposedly perfect. I will see tomorrow.

Black car?
I like these. But I would powder coat black for a base layer with a gun metal finish on top... you already have the 19" tires.

I think you know that I love your current wheels...
 

been thinking of getting a set like them eventually too.

My currant wheels will be going soon very cheap.

Oh boy...I was just thinking about how much I like your current set. I wonder how much I have left in my allowance? :eek:

Next request can you make them black so I can see.

I will watch the classifieds. Your current wheels are replica's, correct?

Yes they are replicas with factory porsche center caps. Hankook ventus v12 tires on them with 80% tread left.

Could not tell from the photos, that they were replicas.
My choice for best looking wheels on a 986 would be, ...

19": ORIGINAL PORSCHE CARRERA SPORT 987 WHEELS
18": ORIGINAL Fuchsfelge WHEELS (own them --> "Summer")
17": ORIGINAL PORSCHE BOXSTER WHEELS (own them --> "Winter")

Got em at a great deal. Price was waaay to good to pass up. http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1392236271.jpg

Now you need to make me a deal like that
 

:).

Glad to see you found what you were looking for. Post some pics when you get the new shoes put on.

Congratulations!
Those 18" Cayman wheels are definately my taste, too.

I guess I'm kind of late, but here you go.

Exactly what I was thinking :)

I think I'm going to have to try some gloss black plasti dip after I get some rubber on em. Thank you again.

Be forewarned....
 

the plastidip glossifier really does not do very much to the finish of the standard plastidip...maybe a kind of satin finish at best. I have had it on my Sport Classic II's for about 5 months now and overall it has held up wonderfully (I took lots of time laying down about 5 coats of plastidip and glossifier each) but the shiny gloss finish I was wanting has never been there and from what I have read, other people have had similar experiences. It is a nice, cheap solution though if you are wanting to see how black would look on the wheels before painting them.

Thank you for the advise. I saw that people were having trouble with the gloss. I just watched a tutorial on it and it seems that when laying down the gloss it needs to go on pretty heavy after the initial coat.

I have to say I like the look of these wheels a lot more on your car with the black finish.

One idea that just came to me would be to leave the lip grey/silver or even getting it refinished with a polished metal lip with the center black. It would come across as a more modern take on the Fuch wheel.

Sort of like this without the silver on the center spokes:

Something closer to this but with the more modern lines of the cayman wheels:

gonna look like this (see "Seal Grey thread")...can't wait :dance:

You have to use a lot of layers of glossifier and wait until each dries completely. And you'll get more bling if you couple the mettalizer over gold or anthracite after putting down a matte finish first. So it's like a many steps process, but pretty cool for a spray can.

Yup, definately would try to create something similar to Porsche's Fuchs Design on a dark car like yours.
