Just joined Cayman club not to long ago. This has been a very helpful site for me.
I've posted a new pic of my 19" EXGT5 Wheels. Please let me know what you think. I will be lowering it this week with H & R springs.
Thanks

Welcome! Nice wheels.

Nice rims - you better get some Wheel Wax on those babies to keep them that shiny - either that, or don't use your brakes.

Nice! Welcome to the club - keep us posted on the post H&R install. I have some laying around the garage and I'm interested in your views after. That's not another Acura in the background is it? I was just giving some other guys a tough time for owning those!

Nice wheels!! they really set off the Atlas gray, good call on the clear side markers. Like to see it after its lowered.

Thanks for your responses. I will do my best on keeping them clean as possible and yes that is an Acura in the background

My car came with 19" wheels already and after reading the forums it was recommended to keep the same size which was a great call as it feels exactly the same, we will see after lowering it. So due to keeping the same size I was able to use the existing tires on the new wheels so that kept the cost down. $1500 for all 4....very reasonable, they are still alloy wheels but have a very expensive look. Also comes in Black w/chrome lip or black w/red trim which real sets off the brake calipers. I will post pics as soon as I lower it this week.

I like how your wheels stay with the classic Porsche lines, but are different. Very nice. Welcome to the club.

Very nice and at a great cost. Looks like it might be a pain to clean the small gap where the spoke meets the outer rim though.

Rt,

Can you confirm those are the 8.5, 10.5 rims with et 45 front and 50 rear? and does the front sling stuff on the side of the car in the rain?

Thanx a ton. I'm looking at getting these wheels and the front offset is bothering me by the numbers but looks really good on your car. Also could you take a pic of the front quarter showing the tuck of the wheel.

thanx again.

Nice wheels

I have the same ones. Good design, lightweight and they are holding up nicely. But, shortly I will be replacing them with 19'' OEM turbo wheels when I can find some. - Suneet
