i cant believe someoen who owns a porsche turbo would buy a knock off wheel
do you have any idea what could happen at high speeds ? are those wheels DOT approved ? are they forged ? were they x-ray'd for stress cracks ?
do yourself a favor and give back the porsche and pick up a g35 or something
sorry to sound like a jerk but the absolute last thing you want to go cheap on is a set of wheels/tires
thats the only thing that makes contact with the road
you do realize theres an enormous amount of weight on the back of your car right ? and the stress increases on one wheel while youre under load and cornering

Wow, take it easy guys. OP has already stated he isn't planning on tracking with these. For normal day to day driving, I doubt it's going to be an issue. I had a set of CCW's that cracked from DE days... I would keep these off the track but they look great for the street.

If you're doing anything heavier duty than regular use, spend the extra coin.
Seems you got a good buy on these

Oookay so Legend decided to go for something a bit more upscale and sold these to me - VERY smooth sale! I will try to post some better pics, especially when I get center caps, but for now here's one off my phone for those interested in what they might look like on a silver car. :-)
Same size in the rear for me only in 18, 10mm narrower up front (225). My previous wheels had 295s in the rear but the rim was still too wide and I wasn't sure a wider tire would fit on my car. So... these made sense for me. Still getting used to it but I think so far I like it
My thanks to Legend34 for a smooth sale and fast shipment. FedEx dinged one slightly but they were packed very well and I'm not sweating it.

Thank you! I am going to have to get used to it. I thought they looked damned nice on a white car and I think nice on mine as well. Poor car is pretty dirty though so no close ups :P
