Looks great vince, paint the valve stem black or do it in green it looks weird in chrome with the rest of the wheel all black. I think 19" front and 20" rear will be great! Do a pinstripe to set it all off, is my recomendation...

WOW!! And yes! That rear can swallow some 20" wheels without any problems... Those 19 actually look small in there.
Sweet, sweet ride!!!

Some sneak pics. Car is getting ready for a photoshoot on Friday. Right now the car has 19" iforged track edition wheels. I am building a new set with 19" front and 20" rears in time for SEMA. Another problem we encountered was the 997 techart side skirt being too long. So currently we are having the side skirts cut to fit.

Ok guys here are some sneak pics of the stereo system. You guys are the first to see this before the crowd at SEMA. I had Creative Car Audio and Motorsports in Santa Fe Springs make me a custom color matched fiberglassed subwoofer box that fits arounds the GMG Racing roll bar and stills allows direct access to the suspension so I can still alter suspension adjustments such as rebound and compression. The box can also be removed for those track days when every pound matters. The entire system was color matched with BASF Glasurit 997 GT3 RS Green.
The one thing outdated with the 996 Porsche Turbo is the stereo system. The Pioneer Z2 dual din head unit behind a custom carbon fiber mounting plate updates the outdated stock head unit. I also plan on painting the two plastic covers in the trunk green next week to match.
I love the new Rockford Fosgate P3 shallow subs because they do not require as much airspace as before and fit the compact Porsche with ease. The new Power amp line from Rockford Fosgate allows me to fit two powerful amps in the trunk with room to spare. In between the fiberglassed color matched amp rack is a Rockford 10 farad Hybrid Digital Capacitor and the entire audio system is run off an Pioneer Avic Z2 with bluetooth and ipod add ons combined with a Rockford Fosfate 3Sixty Interative Signal Processor. 3 gauges from the Autometer Cobalt Digital Series measured and display the amp current, amp temp., and volts within the stereo system in a custom fiberglassed pod.
Thank you to Rockford Fosgate, BASF and Creative Car Audio and Motorsports for an amazing digital audio listening experience ,that looks as good as it sounds.

Looking good!! Two more suggestions: Smaller Techart steering wheel and aluminum floorboards 
Definitely doesn't HAVE to have it, but would make the interior a little more aggressive!
