I like them but I want something a bit different, gunna need spacers and shit to make them clear my Brembo's so was considering going for a different wheel. Kind of want to go silver, was thinking of some BBS CH reps with a bit of poke...
These wheels:
Does anyone know of a company that custom makes wheels to fit so you wouldn't need to piss about with spacers to get them sitting right? I really like the idea of a bit of stance to be honest, some people say 18" is too big for the vRS but I reckon it can pull it off...
I was also thinking of Porsche Twists off a Boxster I believe, they look stunning on the first car but there's a lot of different variations I've seen that I'm not keen on at all...
I also don't like how they look like they're on the wrong way on one side of the car.
So yeah, ideas please... I fancy a change for next summer.

Definitely get a bit of silver on there to break it up.
There's a VRs I saw on E38 a while back with Porsche Twists and it looked awesome. So that's what gets my vote!

go for something uncommon;
comp VLM1880 8x18
you can specify the pcd and offset (et20-et60) so if you want some poke get the rears in a lower offset than the fronts and they'll be no need for spacers
it's a shame they don't come in 9x18 but i still reckon they'd look spot on
if you want fully custom 'show' wheels, ccw, image or rotiform are worth looking into, you're looking at £2k+ for 18s though.

Although it seemed every man and his dog had them at Edition38, but what about RH ZW1's?

The ones on the red are off a 911 and the yellow off a boxster aren't they? Either way yes to the first ones but no to the second lot.

They are 996 Turbo or C4S wheels (not twists).. Worth quite a bit for original ones too.
They are bog standard bottom of the range 996 C2 wheels.
