What's the difference between VY and VYC? Any pics on a car of any of the wheels?

Nice wheels. I wonder how the Carrera GT style wheels would look on a Cayman. Any photos available?

The VYC spoke design allows for larger front brakes. As you can see in the photos most of the GT3 cars have the VYC design wheel for this reason.

Thanks for posting the photos, Russ. Is it fair to say the VYC wheels have a more concave design than the VY? The biggest visual difference I'm seeing is that some of the wheels have a flatter face (I'm assuming the midnight blue 993 (?), the white GT2, and the silver 996C4S in your photos have the VY design wheels installed). The rest of them seem to have the more concave VYCs.
Great looking wheels. Should I PM you for a price quote on the 19" VY design wheels?

The price is shown in the graphic above for all wheels.
The price starts at "X" and goes up depending on any custom color requests.
All of the standard colors are also listed in the above graphic.
I am waiting to get exact weight specs from AutoArt on all sizes and widths.

Finishing of the outer rim is hand polished to mirror finish.The inner rim is natural matt grey of heat treated aluminum.All centrer discs are sand blasted, chemically treated before applying one coat of powder prima, two coats of wet paint then one final clear coating.

You are correct the VYC has the concave spokes for larger brake clearance. Depending on your size request I would need to confirm which application is best for Cayman brakes.
Here is an easy break down of set cost. These prices are for standard finishes as noted in the graphic above. Custom colors such as those pictured on the Porsche photos are additional.
18x8 - 18x13 $2650.00 / set
19x8 - 19x13 $2750.00 / set
20x8 - 20x13 $2850.00 / set

Hi Russ, I don't know if anyone has asked this question before. I have spacers on my CS right now. 15mm in the back, and 5mm in the front. Is there a custom offset to get the same look without the spacers, while adding a wider tire/wheel combo? It would be great to get a bigger footprint. What size tires would fit at that point?

These wheels are made custom for your car so you will not need any spacers. You can dictate any width and offset you would like for a custom wheel tailored to your needs.
You could go with an 8.5" et56 front and you could also go with a 10"-10.5" et42 rear.
