Very nice, I just grabbed a set of the same type of rim ,but in the 18" variety as my street set. Never been a fan of the ride compromise that comes with 19's on our cars, but the look sure is nice!I got my right off 6speed so they are out there and are the correct offsets for turbos. I love the look of the OEM rims and mine should be here in a couple of days... Here are some pics of the rims I bought.....

That looks awesome. Those are my fave modern Porsche rims by far.

Those rims look really great on yellow cars. I just installed some 19" Techarts and had to get the fenders rolled. Pain in the but butt but I love the aggressive look.

Your car is beautiful.

Fly, with your 15mm spacers fitted. At an estimate, how much further does the wheel protrude outward vs the 18” OEM wheels?

BTW....outstanding package !!

Thanks Fly, Below pic shows my OEM set-up. A further 22mm outward would be a massive amount. Using my finger as a gauge I have approx. 14-16mm mm clearance on the inside. Are you able to provide a further pic showing a similar angle? Cheers

so two things to consider.

1. you are probably looking/measuring at the tire vs. the wheel. in my case the wheel is a 12" wheel so for those of us running wider tires that is the point that is furthest out vs. the wheel. therefore you are correct in that 15mm is about the right number. but in my case i have a 12" wheel, so it pushes the wheel out further and not the tire.

2. my wheels are 19x12et51 with 15mm spacer = 19x12et36
the stock wheels are 18x11x45. if you use the offset calculators available on the web you'll see that my math is correct.
