Cayman wheels

I want a second set of wheels, and want to try out 18's to compare. I'm digging the black wheels so can't imagine switching to silver now.

I always kinda liked the basic Cayman S style - like these.

The O. Z. Alleggerita is lighter but I'm not convinced would look as good as a Porsche wheel.


But I guess these silver ones aren't so bad.

OZ has some good looking wheels. I'm not sure that's one of them. Though, I'm not a fan of that oe wheel either.

I'd probably do something like these from Forgestar:

TR has a fuchs looking wheel that's neat, and the BBS SR.

I like it better too, but it's in 19 only.

Very few come in 18 for the 987.

What do you want them for? Track/auto-x?

Nah, just for driving around.

I'm starting to question whether I need them. But I like having an extra set of wheels, and I wanted to try 18's to compare the ride and handling.

18s won't give you any brake clearance issues?

I use 18s for my winter wheels, glad I have them. A little more sidewall for seasonal potholes.
