Any idea how heavy they are, who makes them and whether they are TUV, DOT or JIL approved?

The guy at Wheel Dynamics could certainly tell you this. He told me they were made in Italy like the rest of his look-alike Porsche wheels, so we know they're not cheap Chinese made rims.

Not too shabby. Probably Mille Miglia as they seem to have a lock on decent "replica" wheels.

just in case your in the market for these wheels try Ernie's Alloys in Miami.
I got factory Porsche 5 spokes for $1900 delivered. 21 pounds.

Those are great looking wheels; I've been considering those on a 987.

How much clearance is there between the rim and the shock?

On my stock Boxster 9" rims I figure there is about 15mm or about 5/8" clearance. By my calculations, going with a 10" rims adds about 12mm to the inside of the wheel + plus the change in offset (+4mm) . That would seem to put the rim right up on the shock.

I'd like to consider these wheels but want to avoid spacers if at all possible.
Thanks
