Wanted to change things up a bit so I went with some black center/polished lip iForged Aeros.

I'll keep the OEM Sport Designs for some R compounds.

bingo on the 19's. just washed today - it's getting dirty already but I wanted to take a few photos while the rain briefly let up...

The RE050s kick *** in the wet. Totally impressed with them.

Thanks! It seemed like iForged was the way to go for a decent lip with decent offsets.

Just because of all the things I've read about iForged re: their quality I had my tire guy spin 'em before he mounted the tires. All were within .5 to 1.0 oz which I thought was pretty good for a 300 oz. wheel.

Just messing around w/ iPhoto...

Thanks... striving for a clean look.

Wheels are 19x8.5 +44 19x11 +61

Weights - forgot to weigh 'em but they seemed like low 20s F mid 20s R IIRC

Hey Jody - we can even bring our dogs.

16lbs of fury -

That looks exteremly good, I would add some aerokit to make it look even sportier.

Examples that I like are the Speedart and Cargraphic

Hey Mohammed and Russ -
I appreciate the kind words. I'm really torn on aero for this car. Part of the appeal to me is the clean look of the 997.

The voice in my head is telling me to save the rest of the mod money to start my 997 GT3 fund.

I know exactly how you feel, Jody. Kona is our little surrogate child. Twisted - but the truth.

Well whatever suite's you, then again you are going to be enjoying it everday and not us.

If you do get a GT3 get it in Black, its seems that its your signature colour with black wheels.
