I am proud, specially because its in excellent condition as you can see...

but being objective there are some pretty wild 996TT's running in this forum and mine is quite restrained. I am focused in performance and function thus choosing "18's, Mexican roads can get pretty tough and we also like to run,

conditions may also get quite difficult,

and I believe that for all this "18's are the better choice.

The HRE's I chose look purposeful and nice but are not a strike of genious, I believe a set of 997 MkI 997 RS wheels would have looked fantastic on it and I may still do those if the oppotunity comes.

What about oem's you may ask, well those are getting painted like my street 986 set,

and then a set of fresh Michelin is to be mounted for track use.

I hope to do a proper shoot soon, so far I have been busy, driving and enjoying the 996TT as it was meant to be on daily basis.

I never did a proper intro of the 996TT but I will once I have some proper photos to show.

Thanks to all for your kind encouraging comments and I look forward to keep hearing from you, thanks again.

If you can afford adjustable shocks/coilovers, go for it, you can make such different dynamics in the car with the turn of a knob.

Nice photo above, looks like the oldschool PC game (Test Drive), or Outrun. lol

I love those wheels! They are the exact same wheels I am getting ready to put on my black 996tt.
