Very nice! I'm taking her tomorrow for the window tinting and I'm waiting patiently for the carbon air intakes and the Wheels! Probably on the 9th of February but since I'll be in dallas till the 13th it will be after I get back that i put them on. What do you notice since you did the 19" from teh 18"? Just curious?

is OEM from Porsche, he put the same wheel but in 19'.
the same wheel came in a 996 GT2 to Brazil

those are GT3 wheels. GT2 rear wheels are wider, i.e. more concave. GT2 996.2 wheels are very rare.

Rides bumpier and tram lines a bit more, may be cured with switching to PS2s though. Feels more special on the 19s

CCW classics. If you don't have OCD already, these will get you on your way...

Mental, that's a mean look'n car there! :)

Question though... are those wheels entirely polished? Does keeping them clean make you want to kill a kitten sometimes? I have a hard enough time keeping the polished lips on my S4's CCW rims clean (to my liking)... I can't imagine an entire rim being polished and requiring that kind of up-keep. ?

^^^ yes the entire wheel is polished. It is one of the hardest wheels ever to keep clean for sure but very pretty when clean!

Ugh... Justin, I'll sit and watch you clean your polished wheels, for support.

Go with a chrome lip!

That is EXACTLY how they should look! :D Beautiful (and rare) wheels on that baby.

+1 on the 997tt wheels. Because I have them lol. But next to that I think the f14s look excellent as well.
