My '09 Turbo Cab, Champion RF67's, stock suspension. These shots were right after delivery, about two years ago. I'm sure it's settled some, so I'll try to get updated shots this weekend when I detail it.





Are you looking for ride height, looks, how well the fit is?

Here is a link to my car on Sharkwerks web site. (Silver RF67's on a coupe at Stock ride height).

Like Eric i also have the RF 67 Champion monolites excepting my car is a coupe so they take on a different look. Imo the car looks perfectly fine at the stock ride height and i put it down to a couple of things; the main one being the offset which Champion has really got right for this car, and the other is having a wheel that can also take the OEM caps and TPMS. Rim weight was also a key decider for me and the 67's are super light yet super strong. If you go over the SW 997tt/GT2 projects page you will also see a lot of other examples of AM wheels.

Thanks! I feel the same way. I want to do aftermarket wheels, but really dont feel like messing with the ride height

Here's today's shot after cleaning:




Note - we did a custom cap for these wheels - took us three weeks, but it has a small silver crest, a slight polished edge, inner cap section is matched to wheel finish, and chrome Boothe bolts.

Eric, wheels look great! Anyone have 19" wheels with a lip on stock ride height? About to pull the trigger on having a 3 piece set built gloss black lip with mate black face.............Knowing a lip makes the wheels look an inch smaller, but also since the wheels will be black they will blend into the tire and will not look as small....decisions, decisions...lol<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>
