Just got these from, Barry ( real nice guy) over at Pack Racing. Help him with getting the back spacing right. Got four 15" x 8" track wheels (16lbs) and just got a new set of Yokohama Advan 032 R's soft compound. Take a look!

Those look great. Can you post a pic directly from the wheel face? I didn't realize you could get new minilites, only the look alike panasports.

These are not Minilites, they don't mfg. wheels in the correct Porsche backspace and offset. These are Superlites mfg. by Performance in Australia, Pack Racing is the importer in the US.

Well, I guess they are! Prescott, AZ

They have street wheels in a 16x7 with the right offset and right bolt pattern for our (narrow body) 4 bolt cars. 25 or 35mm offset (35mm is 5.33")

Looking good, glad to see you found a way to get minilites on your car! How do the 8s fit on the front? Tight I would think, but I am sure it looks great overall. Got a shot of the whole car with them on?

As for Pack, they are GREAT with customer service. I bought my UltraSheild seats thru them and had a slight issue with one of the covers (stiched wrong/wouldn't fit) and they were all over making it right. Very cool guys.

Those are ALOT nicer than the Diamond wheels I run on the street.
I sorta like my Centerlines @ 15 lbs for a 15 x 8.5" 4.75" backspace.

Yep I am pretty sure that's where mine came from. I bought mine from Van914 here on the club site. I love the look of minilites, just wish the center caps were not so f'n big & ugly.

Mine with 4 bolt pattern.

I like the look. Their 'street' wheel is not exactly light, though. Their 15x7 is same weight as 16x7 boxster.

Wish they had 15x7 race 5-lug in right offset
