Really nice!
Bet they show less brake dust than the OEM blacks, too.
Tempting.

Nice....had a set of these once...glad they got them worked out...1 of the very very top wheels going.
Why did you do 8.5" up front when 9" works and fits wider tires better?...just curious...what's front offset too?

Next you can fix the ride height as it doesn't look like you have Sport PASM....seems like all Porsche did was use shorter springs for Sport PASM....you can fix this really cheap and easy.

Thanks for the comments.
mdrums, The 8.5 front is due to my mistake. For some reason I was thinking about what I had on my 09 C2S for the front and asked for the same thing. I might change it out next winter.
I looked at the Sport PASM setup and the springs and shocks both have different part numbers from the standard PASM. So I'm not sure which way to go. Sharkwerks seems to be very happy with their results when adding Techart springs.
Wheel specs: Front 8.5x19 ET 53, Rear 12x19 ET 47. Both front and rear are pretty much flush with the wheel opening.
The matte gunmetal is very easy to take care of. I just wipe the polished lips off with a towel after a drive and the rest of the wheel looks fine. The stock black wheels were a pain to keep up with.
gota911, how are the Ti lug bolts working out for you?

Any idea if the matte gunmetal is the same as the 'titanium' finish that Forgeline lists on their website?

EDIT: Nevermind. Found your car on their website. It is their 'titanium' finish.
