I use a brush, but it still doesn't get into the crevices where the lug nuts sit.

You need to use a toothbrush for that (I, like many dentists, recommend Oral-B!).

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Installed my new DPE wheels yesterday...yes or no??
R06 Variant S 18x10 and 18x8 w/ 225x40 (f) and 285x30s (r), fronts weigh 22 lbs, and the rears are 23 lbs. With tires they are 42lbs & 49lbs.
I like the wheels, but maybe just a tad too much bling bling...(just kidding). I think they look very cool. The pics on a dreary day just don't do dem justice.
Yes, the OEM Sport Designs are for sale...and they are as clean as the new DPEs, near perfect condition. Will post them in classifieds sometime today.

Thanks,

Damn - 7.5"
These are the wheels my car originally came with. I'd like to find a set to bring it back to original. Mine came with the 8's
Good luck.

It's just good to have OEM wheels just in case you want to make another move on the aftermarket wheels or when it comes time to sell the car you can always get some of your money back by selling them. It's better to sell the car with the factory wheels since wheel design is such a personal thing.
And I personally would've steered you away from 18" DPEs and toward these 19" RG5s.
Your OEM wheels are one of the better looking 911 wheels out there. Seriously, if you can, keep them.
Very true. Surprisingly, I don't necessarily feel that the DPEs "improved" the look, they just gave it a different look. The car looked very nice with the Sport Designs. And as you pointed out, it's always nice to have the OEM wheels when selling the car. Leave it up to the owner to personalize it with wheel choice.
Regarding the locks, I wasn't able to install the OEM locks. The lock key would not fit into the bolt holes on the DPEs (seems odd). I will have to look into some other lock configuration so that I don't find the car sitting on the rotors one day.
Thanks, but as luck would have it, I've encountered a problem with the wheels. The counter bore is too big, by 1mm and the bore depth on the rear wheels is to shallow, by about 1mm. As a result the wheels will not mount flush on the center hub, and the wheels are not dead center resulting in a very shaky ride.
Looks like I need to have them removed and sent back to DPE.
The new rims look good, but that said, the originals look just as good to me. I think one thing Porsche generally does a good job on is supplying the vehicles with excellent oem rim choices, Now if they could only put an engine in that doesn't have the tendency to eat itself with the IMS...
The OEM Sport Design as are even more of of PITA to clean, IMHO. I use a brush, but it still doesn't get into the crevices where the lug nuts sit. You need to use a toothbrush for that (I, like many dentists, recommend Oral-B!).
Still, I'm sticking with the Sport Designs. Seems I have an affinity for wheels that are a bitch to clean.
Ben,
I agree! The OEM Sports will be back on the car today. What a PITA.
BTW, I had 19" RG5s on the car for a few years, but went back to 18" OEM Sport Designs 2 years ago to regain the "stock" look. While I like the look of the DPEs I think the RG5s looke better on the car...and they fit perfect, no conuter bore issues! The RG5s look very nice on your MKI.
