New Guy Yellow C4S

Hey gang!

New guy here. I thought I'd introduce myself since I've been here on the forum absorbing knowledge from you guys for awhile. I have a yellow 97 993 C4S. It's pretty much stock except for a few minor OEM upgrades and a Techart steering wheel and HIDs. I've had a polar silver 96 C4S prior to this one. Love the air cooled sexy wide body.

I'm looking to upgrade to some larger 19" wheels and am looking for some advice and suggestions from the experts.

Any suggestions on the wheels and colour? Does anyone have any recommendations of a place in Vancouver B.C. to get wheels?

Thanks!

18 inch BBS LM Dark Grey would look really tough.

There are not too many yellow Porsche in Vancouver, let alone with our pastel yellow. The wheels on your C4S like out from 996 Turbo S which is in GT silver (darker silver). My TT use to have silver wheels and the pastel yellow look much better with black wheels. BBS LM are good choice. I love the step lips with 993 classic body line. Works VSXX is another choice! As I said at another thread, we should come out to have a photo shoot!

Good observation Ray.. yes they are from a Turbo S. I was going to come out for the weekend drive with you guys a few weeks ago but couldn't. I missed out! I saw you car and was surprise to see another pastel yellow. I do like the black wheels and shiney lips. Yes let's get together for a shoot. It's not often you get two generation pastel yellow cars together. I would also like to check out your wheels.

I was thinking that and there have been many that have advised me that 19's will look good but be very hard.

Ask for Chris, at Deutsch Tech Motors in Richmond on Westminster Highway, 604 278 7986. He has been around a very long time and knows his European cars very well. He can get you just about anything and has excellent customer service. He has been working on my cars for over ten years.

Thanks for the info. Does Chris actually work on the cars? Can I get my car modded there? Can he put on some nice yellow ruf brake calipers on mine like you have?

Chris, works on all the cars himself. He mostly does high end European cars and knows his stuff. I highly recommend him and you can see some of the cars he's done on his website.
