Hey guys, moved from lobster claw OEM rim to these babies. What do you think ? I love them. They're OZ's, nice surprise is that the OEM centre caps fit. I used the caps from my OEM rims and they provide a nice offset look and match the paint. That said, interested in opinions to keep as is, or go to black centre with Porsche crest. Also had to go to varying sized on the lugs for front and rear, I'm convinced that silver lugs on a black wheel is bad form !!!!

Definitely black centers, or the carbon fiber centers the wheels came with. Even with black Porsche center caps, the black won't match. The Porsche black is much more glossy. I'd go with OZ center caps. Then I'll supply my address and we can trade Porsche caps!!

Just another played out set of blacked ou wheels to me.

Sorry, I just don't see the attraction to spending thousands for something that does not enhance the car.

Depends on your definition of enhancement. Those OZ wheels are very light, therefore make a real difference from handling to fuel economy. Aesthetics are subjective.

thanks to you and Steve for that input. Appreciate it. I know the current centres look white in the pics but they're close to the paint colour. Anyway, I'm with you guys, I'll swap for blk caps when they come off for a track day
