I am glad you are talking about these as they are our number one 1 piece forged wheel right now for BMW, Audi and Mercedes vehicles. They are very well priced for a set of 19s, unfortunately they have not engineered the forgings for Porsches yet.
They are however coming out with a Porsche specific wheel by this summer, I won't spoil the surprise but this should really please all Porsche owners !
The 19s are under 20 lbs and coupled with the high offset applications of Porsches, they will remain very light!

I have the Ruger mesh, in bright silver, and I get more complements on those wheels than any other thing I have done to my car. People love them, and they look great on my Basalt Black car. My only complaint is that the whole for the wheel bolt is very narrow and if you are not careful you scratch the wheel with the supplied socket. I would get the tuner lug bolts with the interior allen key which would solve the problem. I have put about 10,000 miles on them and I live in NY with lots of crapy roads, they are still straight and true.

You got it.
Good to see these are passing the "NY street" tests!

Matt really deliberating on the ruger mesh design for my c2s but come to the conclusion that the offsets are a bit too aggressive for my taste. Something closer to 50 front and 60 rears are more to my liking. I currently have 7 mm spacers on my original carrera 2 wheels and absolutely lovve the way the stand in the body....i hope you can give me options

I have attached pictures on a 997 with the above offsets, fitment is also about running the proper tire, a 295 or 305 will fit perfectly!
Here are pictures:

I have Ruger deep dish wheels (as seen in my avatar) and I cannot get an H&R 15mm wheel spacer on my rear wheels due to the Ruger lugs not being long enough. The lug hole openings are very narrow and the factory Ruger lug not is not long enough. Do they make longer shank Ruger lug bolts or where and what size 'tuner' bolts would I need? Whatever I replace them with needs to be able to accommodate that small Ruger bolt opening.
Thanx!
