OK, so I put common sense to one side, and parted money for a set of 4 of those Cayenne rims - they were a really good price, so i could not say no! Next I need to get some rubber installed on them (will go with 225/40-17)and then measure out what size spacers I will need to make them look good under the CGT kit - I will post some pictures once I have more to share...

I think your spacers will need to move the wheels out to simulate an ET of 20 for the front, and either 20 or 10 for the rear.

Wheelenhancement.com has spacers.

Yes, I was assuming that I would need approximately 30mm spacers. But I will measure it once I have the new tyres installed and I can test fit them against the car...

Hey flosho, Did you have to change anything on your car to get those rims on? Like Height, spaces, fenders? I'm Looking at a pair of twist rims and just wondering if there's any work to do besides putting them on.

1981 931 with 6X15 Cookie Cutters all around, they bolt right on. I've found you could additionally replace the rears with 7X15 Cookies by removing the rear spacers and going to shorter studs.

Cookie Cutters are my second favorite wheel for these cars (Design90s take the cake!)

This is kinda funny, I thought by now you guys would have had all the wheels under the sun looked after.

Porsche 928 Club Sports
I'm looking into a set of these for track day wheels, anybody have issues with offset? is that why I haven't seen them?

Kinda look like a mix of D90 and Flatdish wheels.
