putting dubs on the 996 is a complete do not go-do move.
Could some one please put this in english for me

WTF is a ?dub?...I know I'm older but I don't speak whatever it is. Sounds ghetto to me.

I don't know about ghetto...but unfortunately it is the new language the younger folk use these days...

To the OP...wheels look great...just don't hit any potholes!

"Dub's" on a Porsche?? It's a 996 not a Cayenne right.

Whatever floats your boat I guess, but I'm with Ben on this one.

Just one small step away from this....

Looks great on the car, but I think I'd hate driving on them. Just my preference.
Handing definitely is affected.

Those look a lot like the Hartge Classic wheels I had on my Dinan 330i-

I like the look of the wheels.

Unlike my locale, you may have streets where that rubber band is tolerable.. not the case in New Orleans, LA! The wheels would be bent in the first hour of driving.

Also, I am young (somewhat- 25), and I had no idea what a DUB or DUB Duece was until 30 seconds ago. For that I am thankful.
