Yeah, those adapters are wheel-independent. Once you have 4x100 --> 5x130 you can fit any Porsche wheel you'd like.

Ruf wheels? That would be a first!

Would be very cool...

The only problem I can see is that the thickness of the adapters won't suit the wheels you want. But you can take that into account when you're wheel hunting...!
