I'm pretty sure you need 11-12" fronts and 13" rear.
Aren't these fenders +50mm? F/r?

The fronts dont add any width.. and yes the rears need to be big. 11.5 was actually pretty decent looking. .the 20x 12 should b more than plenty. Already have tires for them. 19s r far too small for the vs kit.

Yup.. bronze or gold... leaned towards bronze.

Since the car is flat could you go with matte bronze?

I say go with a bright color...something different. Having wheels powdercoated isn't too expensive (speaking from experience). I just think you've already spent a lot of money on your car as is...why not go for a different look?

maybe it's just me but lots of guys I've seen are either running murdered out flat black or matte black cars...or they have gold/bronze rims. I say be different and go bright on the wheels to contrast with the flat colored car

True true. Trying to stay away from full murdered out for sure.. probably not going w black ones... but... it is super busy already..staying somewhat lo key will help keep it clean.

Plus there's already a dude rocking a 370 flat black w orange wheels in town.

No one here rocking flat n gold yet.

The raugh welt cars r what inspired me anyway .. utility. No sparkle.

Well I've seen a couple VIP cars that run a different color in the barrel area... my buddy had a VIP Ls430 Bagged and his wheels were: Machined faces, black lip with red stripe, and the inner barrels were red. When the car was rolling... the red looked A-***-inmazing, maybe you can try to get away with a different color scheme but using the Bronze and Black theme. Though I personally rock the subtle look, you however can rock something a little more dramatic b/c of the kit.

your really going to have to go with something really extreme with your wheels for it to look great. I don't think you should settle for a wheel with out a deep dish lip. That kit just begs for wheel with a huge lip.

true... the back looked sick w the 22 inch IForgeds, but the front was wreck as all hell.

I really dig the mesh look, always have, and VSXX are just too heavy. I can aford em, but id rather not, ya know?

3 grand was the max.

F14s are half that and pretty proper in my book. Remember, they are really light too... the 20" wheel and tire combo will end up LIGHTER than my factory 17" wheels were, and the performance diffrence w those was night and day w Axis... also night and day w again w the 22s.. terrible.

The 6 inch lip was dope for the week, and multipiece wheels are strong, but they are heavier usually.

If someone has another suggestion on a set of wheels Im down, but yeah... the F14s will be pretty ill i think. its all about havin big meaty tires on em from the back.. and my suspension , toe, and camber is dialed in good too. Good contact patch.

Got Pirelli pzero 305 25 20s for the back already w 255 30 20 up front, nice n wide.


Will be nice to say at a 26 inch RD wheel.. the 22s were almost 28 in RD. Terrible.

I'm not sure why you are looking for such a light wheel. To me it doesn't make much sense. You already have a wide body installed that ads a good amount of weight to the car. Do you track it or something. If it is just for looks, which it seems like it is. I wouldn't worry about weight all that much as long as it looks great. I'm just not understanding what you are trying to do with the car. Make i look good or be a track car? In all honesty I don't think it will look aggressive enough with a wheel that doesn't have a deep lip. Your car is aggressive as hell and so should your wheels. I think I have the perfect wheels for your setup actually. hold on.

Nah light wheels make a huge difference in the daily driving. Snappier. Does affect gas mileage etc. Better traction over bumps. Just feels faster and far more lively w light wheels.

Please do this setup as aggressive as you can go. Get these wheels and powder coat them bronze and I will bow down to your ***!! Keep the lip black and bronze out the middle....omg.

I believe they are the new advans but I could be wrong. Check into it. I believe these on your car in bronze would be so fing sick.

yep, see what i mean? haha.

Thats why i always end up back to the F14s man.. simple. Strong light, and utilitarian.

Thing you gotta realize about having an "aggressive" car is that sometimes its a pain, or sometimes its a bit much, or it gets old.

Its like a loud shirt.. its cool when you first get it, but sometimes it aint the right fit for the occasion... same w this car.. its my DD and only car, so for being as aggressive as it is, i actually want to tone it DOWN a bit.

The big lip would be cool as heck.. the 360 forged on this Porsche are major. BUT again, they arent realy light.

Not looking for ultra light, just not looking for heavy either.
