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?

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

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. ?

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

Go with a chrome lip!

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