Searching for a wing for my 996 cab

I have been looking for quite sometime for the perfect wing for my car. I like the simple style of the Rinspeed wing for the 997. Does any one know if there is a similar type/style wing for the 996? Thanks!

Looks awesome! The black wheels look incredible! Do you have any tire wear,alignment or rear camber issues? Im going through tires like crazy!

None.....it wears pretty normal, but the insides will wear a little faster than the outside....But thats a choice to have that much negative camber....

I run Conti 315/25 19's in the rear. On my second set,third on the way. I had a much better life and wear out of my previous Pirrelli 305/25 19's. What tire size/brand are you running? Thanks for your assistance!

I am running 295/30/19 Sport Conti's...the 997 standard size....Thay are not too bad, and the extra sidewall of the 30's gives me a very smooth ride....

well here's a similar wing by techart, its the Type III wing, i believe. Check out CEC Wheels, they're an authorized dealer in LA.

No abs or over rotation issues running those tires? I assume they are a larger diameter and larger curcumfrence. I tried so hard to stay within spec of the OEM 18''s to avoid potential issues. It really limits your options. I really like the extra meat you have on the rears.

I have no issues with the car at all....performs well, and I notice no difference in the braking system....Stops on a dime....But from what I have heard, the ABS system THINKS the car is locking up and starts to pulse the brakes prematurely which will cause you to have less stopping power. I have had many a need to step on the brakes and I have never felt that happening...

Nope....lol....that's cant be good for tire wear....Thats not a possibility for me....I have a C4 and once the wheels start to spin, it moves power to the front wheels....great for performance as you get MAX traction pretty much all the time...no burnouts though....
