Installed the wheels. Pics again.

I put them on today and i love the look! I have had no rubbing issues at all, thanks alot for everyone here that gave advice on offsets. It looks like i can drop it, but i think i'll be able to retain stock ride height b/c of the side skirts. It looks 10 times better in person. Hope you guys like it.




Fisheye lens, just because i spent 600 on it and need to use it more for justification!





AND the interior that i love so much one more time for no reason.

im apprehensive to lower it. I used to have a 300zx tt, that scraped on EVERYTHING. it drove me insane. I still live in the city, and the roads are still pathetic despite all the constant legitimate road construction. i may in the future, but i think im draining my bank account enough between my 911 and photography hobby. maybe over summer i'll drop her. I was thinking just doing eibach springs, bilstein sport shocks. the pss10's and 9's are out of budget. I've had good results with that combo on my z32.

Thanks for all the kind words, i was afraid I'd get burnt...

I wouldnt lower it as well especially on 19's. I live in the city and know how you feel.

Is it me or does the read wheel fill the arch more the the front wheel?

yea i think thats how the engineers got it to clear speedbumps etc. it feels like it hunkers down at speed though. I do want to lower it, but not yet.

I'd drop it properly with a set of coilovers when the time is right...I'd paint the hat's and lugs to match the wheels....paint the calipers gold to blend with the interior, blackout the tail lights and do the tips as mentioned...

but that's just me...

damn fly996, a little much for right now lol. i think maybe the coilovers will be next, in good time. tips and taillights i like as they are, for now. gold calipers though....i think you have something there...just the right amount of tasteful tackyness.
