New Look - Wheels, Tires, Center Caps & Lugs

DDB-

Those are my favorite wheels Porsche has right now ever since I saw them on a 997 at my dealer. I also love them on Cayman and now the Boxster obviously.

Interested in how the 19's change the handling/ride.

Are they Porsche OEM or knock off/repros and where did you buy them?

thanks,

Jeff,

I agree - these wheels look good on all of the current Porsche cars. I had seen pictures of them on a 987, but when I bolted them to my car it was the first time seeing them on a 986.

I haven't driven the car enough to give you an accurate description of the change from 17" to 19". I drove really slowly because I was concerned with clearance issues when I put them on yesterday. I did some lock to lock turns, etc. and so far no signs of any problems.

They are replicas purchased from http://www.wheelsandcaps.com/porsche_specials.html via eBay. They are very flexible on pricing. Send me a PM for some more details if you're interested in getting a set. They would look really good on your Seal Gray 986S!

Great looking.

Are your rears 11.5 as stated on the website? Weight?

eVoMotion,

Thanks...

No, my rears are 10". They're available in both 10 and 11.5.

They are no lightweights. I measured 25 pounds on the fronts and 28 on the rears.

You can fit 295`s on the rears on 19`s with spacers it clears fine, and the ride quality is not that different at all from the stock 18`s I had on there

looks great,!!!! SO WHAT YOU DOIN WITH THE OLD WHEELS

These look excellent. When you have a few miles on them I would be interested to know how the ride and handling is affected (if at all) on the street.

Thanks
