I'm just curious, what made you decide on an 11-1/2-inch rear rim?
I've seen a lot of applications with 11-inch and 305/30.
I wanted to go as wide as possible, I took advice on sizing from @DVSSN directly so trusting the source with this fitment!
Ideally we'd have had 325 on the back but we were not sure if 275 up front would fit without rubbing on lowered suspension so played in a little more conservative
A little Saturday delivery. Already ceramic coated them with 2 coats of Gyeon Q2 Rim EVO
Vossen HFX-1 satin black
21x9.5/21x11.5
Congrats on the beautiful new wheels! Just checking due to mine own experience, but did you ceramic the barrel yet? If not great, if yes, you’ll have some issues with wheel weights sticking to the ceramic. I ran into this and had to polish the barrels of my new wheels and take them back to the shop for rebalancing.

Can’t wait to see these installed!
I did do the barrels but I left an inch behind the spokes and an inch on the inner lip uncoated so hopefully the weights will have no problem sticking in those locations (highlighted yellow below where I tried to not coat).

nice! Hope your installer is competent and the install goes well!
No lol he's a master tech at the dealer but he does after hours work at the dealership on the side for extra $
Not as uncommon as one may think. A good friend of mine had a beautifully modded GS-F (since sold when he acquired a 2017 911TT) and all of the aftermarket work was done via similar arrangement. Cash for expertise. The nice part is that when I get my LC, the relationship my friend built will be handed over (I've already had some text exchanges with the tech).
Looks good. You know, the front looks fine without the lip that got damaged. It gives it that rocket ship look the LC is known for. And there’s less worry about scraping the front

I had the same thought!! I thought it might look incomplete but it doesn't detract that much from the look to be honest. I already ordered a replacement but if I bust that one up I am not going to fret about a 3rd replacement at that point!
