19" Volk TE37's installed

The 19 inch Volk TE37's for the 997 Turbo will fit the Cayman.
The wheels are are:

19 x 8.5 +51 offset
19 x 11 +44 offset - added 6mm spacer = +38 offset

Tires are Michelin PS2's N1
235/35/19
295/30/19

I have the H&R springs and do not have PASM.
Everything fits perfectly and looks great. The Michelins ride so much better than the stock Contis.

The rest of the Techart Type 1 Aerokit will be installed bext week.

Looks good! I think the TE37's look that much better in 19's vs 18's as I believe the rears get dished at that size. The colour matches the Cayman well!

Great choice. I've got the same wheels as my track wheels but in 18". Love them.

Congrats!
This seems to be the perfect offset in combination with the 295/30 PS2's!
Even more agressive (by 2mm) what Rinspeed and Techart are doing...

Honestly I thought this would look bad when I saw the subject, but the pics look great! I think the color is perfect with your car. A+

GMG Racing took some nice shots of my CS following the intall of my side skirts and front lip. I think these parts help compliment the wheels.
