Bri... yes you did and yes they were the old wheels.

The wheels look better in person than in photos. So much detail and strength... killer!

Nothing like a stock wheel for me...I just finished my final pics for my new 997 and I am going with the 19" thin spoke OEM.

I went with the Carrera Classic which is basically the 19" version of your wheel. The lobster forks are nice though I like them as well. On another note my 2003 looked very similar to yours w/S Skirts, Yellow Calipers Coil overs..all done @ Champion...I loved that car thats why I am getting another one...Never sell it to downsize you will spend every day missing it and nothing is a substitute once you have any 911.

Whats the price on the Avus?
If your not sure or dont trust your wheel dealer, do yourself a favor and call Damon at Tirerack. This guy is top notch, will help you with any questions and give you all of your tire options. I recently dealt with him successfully and give him 5 stars along with the whole Tirerack experience.
Greyghosts car is captivating, (((drool)))

I like them personally..... Your stocks remind me of the stocks for the 3rd Gen RX7 (FD3s).... "Just do it!"
