best looking wheels out there (IMO)
thanks for the info. I have looked at several options all of which come down to cost, these are:
1) buy a C4S - cost is around $25-35k on top of a c2 over here in the UK which is too much for me.
2) convert a 996 C2 to 997 - Got a quote for this and looking at around $24k on top of a C2 so again cost is a little high
3) convert a C2 to C4s widebody - I saw the porsche below and absolutley love it. Personally I find it looks better than the 997 as it looks a bit more aggresive.
So what I would like to do is take a C2, widen the rear arches and fit the above bodykit.

Don't forget the wider wheels, bigger brakes, sport dampers and springs, wider axels, extra drive shafts and differential, standard options like PSM, full leather, etc...
I think it's quite easy and inexpensive to add wide fenders to a C2. But, if the OP is really looking for a full C4S conversion, that's a whole 'nuther very expensive matter.

Surely you can get close to that look with the NB C2, use the money saved and do something worthwhile, like supercharge it 
Just my opinion but I like my girls athletic with a tight *** and super fast...

Having looked into this a little more I think Ill be saving for a C4s. I did a bit of reading yesterday and it sounds like the C4S is the car for me, not just because it is a little wider. Plus for resale purposes it will be easier to sell on as I won't have changed the car too much with a bodykit and anything I add can easily be removed and changed back to standard.
