Shopping for wheels...

Hi guys, I am happy to say I have become a 911 997 Carrera S owner since Saturday. I absolutely love the car and I find it each day more beautiful. It has only 200 miles. It is a meteor gray with black leather.I am now shopping for a set of new wheels. I like the OEM Sport Design rims in dark color. I plan on getting 19 inch rims because here in Argentina streets are not very well taken care. I wanted to know if these rims fit the car and where I can buy a set of wheels and tires.Thanks for your help.Richard

19" Sport Designs are very common on 997S narrow body cars. They come in silver, not dark color. You'd have to have them painted to get a dark color. If your roads are so rough, I would have thought you'd opt for 18" wheels.

Good luck, and welcome to our crazy world.
