Kent Olsen says---> "... The alignment and corner balance brought the ride hight down and we got a 49%/51% front/rear weight bias...."

I just picked up a set of 16x7 minilites for my narrow body hot rod, they look fantastic with 205/50's, they are a tight fit, 3mm spacers in the rear to clear the oil lines...polished lip look great, photos coming soon

Minilites are a cool, vintage look. However, IMHO, the number of spokes on a 911 wheels should be divisible by five. Minilites are for 914's.

VTO does not carry the Superlite GTR's anymore. They make their own models in limited sizes.

I also ordered from Australia. Shipping was as much as the wheels cost, so my sister (visiting from AUS) brought them in her luggage. Good thing I got SUPERlite.

VTO is their own brand which isn't as nice a wheel IMHO.
