We have a few sets left where I work also a Porsche performance shop for the most part but it's rare we get them in sizes and offsets that will fit your cars.Great quality wheels and as you can see very light weight. DO NOT POWDER COAT THEM!

From what i hear they have gone out of business. They are a Japanese wheel Taneisya/Ijak was the manufacturer and the wheels you have are S-05's and run about 630$ each in that size.

I like them... they are meant to go on a race car which you can't beat. I think if they were a lower offset and a tad wider they would look perfect. But all in all it's a great wheel set, and i love the bolt pattern I wish more companies would do that.

Theres a reason why they're "rare" because no body wants them. 265 tire is a little much on a 8.5 wide wheel.

price doesn't make me like them more...

rare things are cool, only if others know/want them

but when your the only one, then you kinda feel like a loner.
