Those look great. I realized that the wheels are a minimum 8-9hr round trip. Not worth it. I’ll keep looking. I really like this style though. Where did you get those if you don’t mind me asking?

If those are in fact 949’s they’re pretty expensive 3 piece wheels so if the price is right you may want to reconsider. My original set cost $4K. I still have a extra set of rears with tires mounted. Sold mine years ago for $2500

If they’re 946 they have 90* valves mounted in the barrels running to the front. TPM sensors are belly banded inside.

Go to any site that sells wheels and you’ll never see them referred to as rims. Rims is a slang term for wheels.
Hubcaps went on wheels as well, not rims. A rim by definition is the outer edge of something circular.
