Looking at my car from. The side it seems that the gap is lower i am assuming that both cars have the stock suspension setup. Having the tires not too flush with the fenders hides that gap a bit.

It's the angle of the photographs. see this picture:



the gap is not that bad. I still need a 1.2" drop and I will be happy.

Roderick's RW-5 in 19s is a great option as well - classic 5 split spoke design in concave profile.

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.
I just purchased the 20' Ruger Mesh for my Cayenne 2011. They look fantastic but I have to agree with your comment regarding the narrow hole for the wheel bolt. In fact, the "spline" - as they call it - cracked after 12 bolts and I'm stuck with an unfinished car until they send me replacement hardware. Nobody seems to know how this hardware does not cope with my manual torque wrench (118 lbs, as per Porsche manual). It did in fact scratch a couple of holes but I'm sure this can be touched up. QUESTION: where would I get best advice regarding TUNER LUG BOLTS with the interior allen key - to fit the Cayenne and this particular wheel? Thanks.

If you have 2 grand, you could get something that is actually JWL/VIA tested and also TUV approved:

OZ Ultraleggera HLT



These are priced right at the 2K mark. Very light flow formed cast construction.

Sorry to dig up an old thread..... I'm thinking of getting the ForgeStar F14, and was wondering for people who have the F14 for narrow body 997, which offset did you go with?

Thanks.
