I've had my eyes on these exact wheels for a while and would of bought if I didnt have a good set already, and always thought they were great. They look perfect on your car!

While you're doing the springs may I suggest you also install a set of Bilstein "sport" shocks, they are made to go with lowering springs. The stock one are not and the lowering springs will compress them and could blow them out.

I've had my springs on for almost a week and it feels the same minus the ground clearance. It's definately the right thing to do so no regrets. Here's a before and after for visuals.

Thanks man, it was worth the chewing I got for buying the wheels =) I was looking at spoilers last night and was trying to find a carbon fiber one that was subtle.

I have those blacked out turbo twists on my 996, and I really like them, makes my 996 stand out a little from the crowd.

To the OP, I like your new wheels, they look very custom and very nice!
