Just a small update as I have had some PM's enquiring.. I went from a 14mm to a 18mm spacer on the rears. 14mm can do the job but will rub the inner fender liner if you don't pull/bend back the liner a tad. 18mm clear up that problem and push the wheels out a tad more, they were looking a little tucked in before, now they look great.

They look even better in person. These will be my next wheels (don't worry Adam, not your actual wheels...I'll buy my own!).

Chris,

get with Dan, he had one set of bronze TE-37's going for a great price, may still have them..

You already know the gold look goes great with your car's colour.

Of course, on both counts! The 18mm spacers are perfect for the rears. No rubbing in or out. The PS2's are a little noisy and I think (since I had PS2's on the Work wheels) that somehow the ultra-light Volks amplify the noise (rather than deaden). I can live with it and look forward to smother that noise with a louder exhaust soon..

Anyway, solidly recommend the wheels to anyone.

Dan, I saw your car is up for grabs! Having seen it in person (on my driveway), I have to say it is better looking in real life. The sickest 996's I have seen, someone is going to be real happy! Good luck with the sale!
