They are stock 996 GT3 mk2 wheels. You can get them also in TT and GT2 fitment from e.g. www.carnewal.com

The car has a Terracotta interior from Porsche Exclusive. Wheels and suspension are OEM. It has Techart kit but the front lip is stock, painted white (good for daily driving.) As you can see from here:

Well we don't want to tell...

No matter the model type, the car tax in Finland is the same %, for example a 997 Turbo without options is here over $322k with the current rates...

Actually just today the goverment has made a new car taxation, which takes emissions into account so it won't get cheaper with gasoline-powered sports cars... (at least cars with low emissions will cost a bit less then...)

But we enjoy them, and Finland isn't that bad country*

This year we've done everything from little autocrosses to air field runs and autobahns....still my personal favorite is the Nordschleife...


* Something from Google with the search word "Finland ranked":

- Finland ranked the least corrupt country
- Finland, the small Scandinavian nation, boasts the world's "most competitive" economy, beating the United States and fellow Scandinavian Sweden for top honors, according to a survey by the World Economic Forum
- Finland ranked as the uncontested leader of mobile phone usage
- The nation had high scores for judicial independence, property rights and the absence of crime and corruption.

....but I would still want to live in Sweden!! Cheaper cars and more beautiful women there!!

Wow, no matter how greedy I sometimes think our government in the US is, they are mere amateurs compared to this. That is totally ridiculous. I guess you'll be keeping the car you have if that is the case. May be cheaper to buy a car in the US and have it shipped over if you can get around the import duty. A friend of mine recently sold his 993 to a guy in Denmark because of the price difference. The new 997 Turbo here is about $160,000.
