This is not my car but I love the look of these.
1.) Rears 18 x 11, outer rim 3.5, inner rim 7.5, +19mm offset, running 295/40-18.
2.) fronts 17 x8.5, outer rim 1.5, inner rim7.0, +32mm offset (my offset is +1/4" extra to compensate for such a low car, this was done via a slightly different machining of the center hub section, but turns out it was not needed), running 255/45-17.
3.) Finish = speed silver dark (anthracite).
4.) Lugs Porsche black aluminum.
5.) I shortened my own rear studs about the thickness of the spacer.

Direct bolt-on's, factory spacers in rear, 10"x17" rims shod with 275 Kumho's. Front's 8"x17" with 235 Kumho's. Don't have the offset info, but was told at time of purchase from Wheel Enhancement, 930 fitment.
Had to grind down part of the brake vent to prevent rubbing by tire.

Thank you...
This is the thread that convinced me to go with the Fiske wheels on my (new to me) 930 rather than another 3-piece alternative. For that - I haven't looked back. My wheels came in early this month, and I mounted the with Kumho Ecsta XS tires in 245/40-17 (fronts) on 8.5x17 rims and 295/35-17 (rears) on 11x17 rims and took this setup for my second track event with my 930 (my first was LRP on factory 16" Fuchs and Fuzion tires - not pleasant 
).. Final result???
These wheels are incredible - and Alan and the Fikse team were, well - simply awesome to deal with... Every silly question I had, they had the right reply and often, shared some ideas about the setup of my 930 for both track & street... Thank you, Alan!!
I'll try to post a better "street shot" in the near future, but here is my 930 as it sits in my garage (on my lift) this evening...
I can't tell you how many comments the car and wheels have received... They are "drop dead" gorgeous...
Now to find Porsche Crest centercaps (sorry Alan - while I like the Fikse logoed centercaps - well, you know...
)
Best to all - and my thanks!

Hi Polo!
Many thanks! Yep, it cleaned up pretty well for sure It's my 88 930 and, as you recall from my other threads, I've been squaring a few things away on it... It's running great now..
Best to you - and let me know when you are coming down to surf again, OK?
