Hola!

Hola! I just picked up a 996 TT and am new to the board.

Cheers!


First question...

I am considering getting 19" Wheels. I was wondering if anyone has put 19" wheels on the car. I am concerned about disturbing the dynamics and balance of the car. I for one will not get wheels that are heavier then the stockies.

Is this a valid concern?

Thanks

MWEELS

Definitely go with the 19's. HRE 542r's get my vote As far as suspension goes, if you plan to make changes you should consider the Euro M030 setup. It'll lower the car just enough in my opinion.

Another option is to keep the stock wheels and have them chromed that is what I did. Keeps the weight down, looks awesome and only costs $150.00 per wheel, versus mega money
for aftermarket wheels.

I'm actually going to skip the wheels and just get suspension and engine mods for now.
