StephenTi is infamous around these parts

19" is weak... try on these 30"

If they come up with red x's, go here:

Yeah, I'll replace the VW logo with a big Porsche crest. But I have to keep the gold chains.

DAMN... I want them 30's... and I need airbags or hydraulics to make my car go front, back, and side to side.

I don't think the HREs are track legal because of that. 19s look cool but 18s are for performers.

If you want the stock looks and still perform well, i'll definitely go with the hollow spokes or the gt3 wheels.

I don't care for the look of them. I actually have them on my car now. I want a 10-spoke look like these.

Does anyone know the weights of the stock hollow spoke 996tt wheels?

I've tried the search function, no luck.

Edit: I just found it, thanks anyway.
