Amazing. I believe you are first on Porsche forums with these beautiful wheels. Congrats and please post good quality pics when they are on your car -- I'd like to save them!
I always associate Manthey wheels with "the best there is." These MM2's are the "precursor" (grin) to HRE P40, which has got to be 997 Turbo's most popular judging from these forums. I used to sit and stare at the Manthey's on my computer screen, wondering how could justify 10k plus for wheels.
FWIW these are forged magnesium, not aluminum wheel. The weights for 19" wheels are 8.3kg front, 9.2 kg rear. The center lock is fake, I believe?
Enjoy the wheels & thanks for posting. Thought I would never see them on a Turbo.

Cool.
Very nice! You'll enjoy the reduced unsprung mass on the track. Post some photos after you get it all set up.
