looks good but they look small for 18's. Are you running the same size tires as stock? 215/40/18 front and 245/35/18 rear? The sidewall looks too tall.

The 18's really lose the concavity of the wheel. Perhaps it's the offest that is affecting the concavity.

I had 19s on my 997S --- fantastic wheels.

although nice, kind of bland for my taste.

TranceAddict is infamous around these parts

I'm gonna guess here that it's already lowered, if not it could probably use a drop to really make them stand out. If it IS lowered then the offset is making them look small. Could have run 19's but it probably would either A) look ridiculous or B) look great but sacrifice in ride quality and "butt pucker" for potholes and such.

Looks good, but not my cup of tea I guess.
