Hey guys got my 19" RUF KNOCKOFFS on today. The quality is very nice and I like the look. I got the car after work here and took just one pic it was getting dark out. Ill post more 2morrow when its light out. Let me know what you guys think

 

Nice wheels, I am sure you already know what people are going to say... you need to lower it now!

 

Oh yea baby haha. I know it needs to be lowered badly. Im new to the 997 circuit, what do you recommend for lowering springs?

Im going to get HR Sways as well. I have PASM I dont if that matters but what would be a good combo Lowering Springs and Sways?

Thanks man

 

You should put on Bilstein Damptronics CO's.

If you put springs there are really only two choices, H&R and Eibach. Every other one is made by one or the other.

Sway bars are independent of springs. I have the H&R Sways, and I like them a lot.

 

Looks great buddy- Once you lower it it will look tight.

Keep in mind that just doing springs will be an aesthetic upgrade only. Don't expect a lot better handling. As NorthVan stated, get proper coilovers. Are they pricey? sure. Is it worth every penny? absolutely! You'll be amazed how it transforms your pcar, night and day in the handling department.

With sways, you do not need them unless you are going to track the car and/or really drive it to it's edge. Get the CO's, drive your car and get used to it. If you feel like the car is not meeting your abilities then go further with it and add sways, drop links, etc.

 

How Much Did You Pay For The Wheels If You Dont Mind Me Asking??


.

 

how much and where did u source it from?
i might be interested in 20s though if they have them.

 

I like!

 

I payed 1300 for them and got them from Italy Wheels. I believe the website is www.italywheels.com .

They dont have 20s i would have got 20s if I could have. But ill be happy when I drop the bad boy . I love the look though very classic.

 

IMO best style wheel out there for the P cars...... congrats, yes get coil overs, save the money on the sway bars and just go with the coilovers. It is a mod that is worth the money, looks great, helps performance, adjustible, etc.... take the advice from the ones that recomended it. Congrats buddy, car looks great now get some quality pics posted up!!!!

 

Looks sweet...perhaps adding the Porsche spacers will help fill out the wheehwell abit more.

 

Super nice looking wheels. There was a guy selling a 20 inch set on ebay that were black with a polished face that I almost bought. He said they only made 55 pair like that.

Anyway, I too need to lower mine. I heard that just changing the springs is bad for the PASM. Many people recommend the Bilstein Damptronics but I am having a hard time coming to grips with the price just to lower the car an inch or so.

 

Nice job, saw those RUF knockoffs online, they look good. How much do they weigh?

 

Nice!!!

 

Heres another pic I took real quick. I have to get a Digi Camera though . I dont know the weights but they dont feel any different then the Lobsters I had on. And they are very good quality.
