luckyluke is infamous around these parts

Step lip looks Great on track car but street 997 tt would look great with no lip or large straight lip Wheel. My choice would be HRE 841R's in powdercoat black. A large straight lip in the back makes the rear quarter look more aggressive. Thats just an opinion with asthetics in mind only. Strength and all that then off coarse step lip. Fikse makes a great wheel. I own HRE's and Fikse's on my cars and think HRE makes the best street art and Fikse the best track art. I'm very anxious to see your progress. May be time for 996 to go.

Some suspension goodies have arrived and we are working on a conversion for the Moton Clubsport suspension system. We are determining the proper spring rates and lengths as well as making some camber plates. We should start the installation in the next few weeks.

We chose these wheels after building a set for the white 996TT "DMK" that is featured on our site. I like the look of the step lip. Most all 3-pc wheels these days have a flat lip and I wanted something different. IMHO the step lip looks tougher and is much stronger than the flat lip. Additionally, these wheels are fairly light at only 21.5 pounds front and 23 pounds in the rear each.

Anyone interested in the stock wheels, let me know.

I really like the black wheels with the arctic silver. Very nice looking combo.

Been out of touch for a while updating this thread. We have been working on some new items including a "GT3 Facelift" Here is a first: a 997TT with a GT3 front bumper. Personally, I think it fits the lines better than the turbo front bumper. The chiseled air openings for the center radiator go better with the rear intercooler inlet ducts and the shape of the rear bumper. I thought the OEM 997TT front bumper was too round in my opinion.

Additionally, we added our carbon side mirrors with a different look. We left the bottom portion silver with the carbon top portion. I like the way it looks with the distinct contrasting colors. I think it makes the mirrors stand out more while highlighting the aerodynamic shape of the 997 mirrors.

Later this week we will be adding our carbon headlight covers and rear roof spoiler. I will post more photos then. Here are some photos that we took today after completing this conversion.
