I am looking for wheels for the Cayman S now. I want to see if people can show pictures of wheels that are for the Cayman S. I look at DPE and Champion wheels. Thanks.

There are millions, why would we do all your shopping for you?

HRE, BBS, iForged are some places to start.
Everything he has said above. Champions arent bad either. A buddy of mine has those on his C4S, they look marvelous.
But in the world of changing wheels out, I always prefer OEM. But thats just me. I have Carrera Classics presently.
Maybe if you give us a budget and specific style you prefer we can make some suggestions for you.
For example if you want a black dished 5 or 6 spoke wheel with polished lip for under $900USD each. Or maybe you want a polished mesh 3 piece wheel with no max budget?
If you narrow it down I will give you some suggestions. But there are hundreds of wheel companies and every wheel looks good (its all a matter of taste).
What colour is your car even? And do you want to look subtle or do you want to grab attention? Do you like the import scene/look or do you want to stay with german traditions? SO many questions to answer when looking for wheels.
You can also go to our sponsor Tire Rack. They sell wheels and have a simulator so you can see what the wheels look like on the car.

Props for tire rack prices but not such a good selection of higher end wheels for the Porsche. Also I can attest that OZ 3-piece wheels look about 10x better in person than they had in their previewer!!

go to www.championmotorsport.com . the champion wheels are absolutely awesome looking ! a word of warning though: they are very expensive (around $5k a set w/tires).
Nobody gives you more ways to get the look you want:
1. Purchase new Porsche Factory alloys.
2. Purchase like-new used or restored Porsche alloys from us.
3. Have us refinish your Factory alloys. We restore, anodize, polish and chrome plate.
4. Purchase our aftermarket wheels--we offer the very best, including Kinesis, Fikse, BBS, HRE and Champion to name a few.
5. Exchange your straight, true Factory alloys for Factory alloys pre-finished the way you want.
6. Exchange your scratched/curb damaged Factory alloys for new or refinished Factory Alloys.
7. Trade in your straight, true Factory alloys for aftermarket or Factory wheels. http://www.wheelenhancement.com

Thanks for the reply.
I know that I did not have any specific rims that I want. I wanted to see what others got so that I can have an idea.
I have looked and are thinking about the Champion RS98, DPE GT6 and GT7 and iForged Monaco. I want to ask what people think about Champion rims because I hear people say that it is not good for the price and that DPE and iForged are better. Also, are HRE more expensive than the DPE and iForged? It is a bit harder for me to find the price because I am in Hong Kong and not all the shops will ship to Hong Kong. Thanks.
Champion RS98 Monolite Forged Wheel
The Champion RS98 Forged Monolite wheel is one of many forged wheels offered by Champion Motorsports. A special 18" version of the wheel is being built for Cayman Club members and you can read about the Group Buy by Clicking this Link.
Here in the US, HRE pricing is in line with Champion pricing depending on wheel. They are priced a little higher because of their good reputation.
I was told by a sales person that, at least for HRE, when people in Cali started buying them up for Ferrari's and such, HRE raised their pricing.
Good luck and choose wisely and there are many wheels out there. Some good and some bad. The same salesperson told me they stopped carrying a certain wheel because the company misrepresented their product and the wheel's chrome immediately started flaking. In fact the shop refused to even put them on. I think I've seen complaints on the same company on this website. (just can't remember the name)
Another good website for price comparison (from one wheel to another b/c you'r in HK) is gmpperformance.com.

hey StatiX
If you dont mind me asking, how much for your tire and wheel setup? Did you have to use a spacer in the front like you had to in the back? Is it lowered at all? I understood with bigger tires, you want to lower the car a bit.
