new old school wheels

I agree, I tend to be rather snobby re wheels, and until I saw the pic on the car, I wasn't sold. The 986 has classic enough lines with the top down that is seems to work with a Fuch's style wheel. The 19" version however was too modern looking for me on a 986.

I did a quick search for feedback on the Starke brand and Rennlist comments seemed positive. We shall see once I see them live

The only thing I don't like is the center caps they come with look a little chintzy. Get something like these and they'll look great.

They of course are not legally able to photograph their wheels with Porsche crest centers

Here are my newly mounted Starke Design SC18 with Toyo Proxes T1 Sport tires on my 2001 986 S. The car is lowered on H&R springs.

I like the more aggressive offset of these wheels compared to stock.

As for weight, I feel no difference in acceleration.

I ordered black lug bolts to replace the stock silver lug bolts and I have Porsche center caps I am painting black to match the wheels.

When you look at the back of the Starke Design center caps, it looks like they took a Porsche style center cap and the have their cover over that - if you can find the Porsche crests cheap enough, you can make the Starke center caps look OEM.
