I see thousands of wheels for sale. 
I am finding surprisingly few options in the sizes I need.
Can you please give me some suggestions on where to look. 
If you want to help me spend my money. 
5 X 130 Porsche Bolt Pattern
Front - 19" x 8.5". ET 55
Rear - 19" x 10". ET 42
Color - Black.
*(5 or 10 spoke preferred. Patterns of 7 or 8 are not right for 5 lug wheels.
A polished lip would be nice. Lighter is always better.)

Give Dave Martin a call over at wheelenhancement.com
Probably the best wheel service I've experienced since getting my driver's license

Now that is a strong recommendation. 
Thanks Marty.

Another brilliant suggestion.

Extremely knowledgeable and helpful.
Definitely the right guy to talk to. I am thinking the Hybrid Forged Vossen HF-5 might be the one.
Gunmetal not Black.
Maybe Gold.

Love the Gunmetal on the C8.

I’ve been a fan of the gold lately...

Well, I sure know a lot more about wheels than I did a few weeks ago when I started this thread. 
The HF-5's that I liked are not available in my 19" sizes with the beefy 5 X 130 pattern.
Dave, (himself a Boxster Spyder owner), agreed that 20" would be unacceptable for ride quality.
I placed an order for a custom set of the https://vossenwheels.com/ HF-2's in Gloss Gold.
Now the hard part - I have to wait 8+ weeks for them to be manufactured. ![popcorn[1].gif](style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)
The Wheels. 
With these Center Caps.
Practicing my photoshop skills. 
Name the Location?

John...the wheels are awesome, and that corrugated red siding looks like you're parked in the roadway between the SEMA (LV Conv center) buildings. Upper pic is old Route 66 of course!
Are you having Dave mount new rubber as well ?

The red building is the Petersen Auto Museum in L.A.
Correct on Route 66, near Goffs, CA.
Haven't works out the logistics yet on mounting the tires,
