Indeed if you can afford the ride, you can afford the replacements. I'd love to go to 20" but I go through some rough terrain, including cobblestone streets in Brooklyn Heights (where those shots were taken) and I'm certainly not as liquid as Brooklyn Pete. Just my "entry level" mentality come through. My bad. Very cool ride.

Go with the 19" HRE Monoblocks. They withstand the rough roads of NY and fit OEM tires.

Pete needs to post up a pic of his G35 that gave him the name ShowKing :) This 997TT is just getting started!

Beautiful car, MORE PICS PLEASE!

Showking 11-11-2009 08:03 AM

Thank God I have had no problems with the wheels so far.. My kidneys however, hate me for it. lol Every car I owned thus far has been slammed to the floor on big wheels so I kinda grew up avoiding potholes and curbs. Believe it or not, I am actually very happy with the way the car rides now on these wheels with the Eibachs. It rode horrible after the drop on the stockers though. As far as being low... The Speedart lip I had was way too low for NYC, even for me.. but the Gruppe M lip is perfect. I definitely don't plan on replacing any rims, but I haven't to this point so I guess I'm playing the odds. lol. I'll post some more pics tonight. Thanks again guys. -Showking

P.S. Even if you have no plans to do motor work GET THE SOFTRONIC TUNE!!! You won't be sorry!! I'm not a "speed freak" or anything, but the power is incredible!! And the car behaves totally normal.

Gorgeous car! First time I've seen the 944R's on a Turbo and they really look stunning.

Great looking car, white is the way to go on the 997 ;)

I pass by that street on the way to work everyday and often thought about taking some photos there, but Im too lazy.

Awesome looking ride.

Lotta nice white TT's in Kings County!
Raiyu - is that DUMBO - Washington and Water?

Showking 11-11-2009 12:32 PM

It's a hectic place to park now with all the construction.. I know of some really nice cobblestones in the city I go to near the seaport. I'll get you the names. They were dead quiet at like 10 p.m. on a Saturday in the summer. Not bad for NYC.

NYC_Z06 11-11-2009 12:50 PM

Joralemon is cobblestone as you approach Furman but I would not recommend you drive down that street. It’s Jeep country. You can get some really nice shots at night (especially w/white paint) at the end of Old Fulton St. Do a long exposure night shot and you’ll get the skyline and streaks from the lights on the ships. Might wanna wait until after the Grimaldi’s crowd has thinned out.

Showking 11-11-2009 12:58 PM

No doubt.. I have pics of my old car over there... And Grimaldi's, That line was like 150 people strong the other day!! Unbelieveable. lol
