Oh My!! 997 Perfection!

When shopping for a car I was back and forth between buying a 997TT or a Z06 and modding it. Well I ended up with the Z which is twinturbo but I still love the 997 thus I figured I'd post this one.
My buddy just got a set of D2Forged VS5 for his 997TT after seeing my Vette on the VS1. Not only the wheels but with the lowering, painted moldings, and tinting all the windows even the windshield, it all just makes this car absolutely gorgeous. He wasn't sure about the style he should chose from the D2Forged line up but the VS5 was suggested and after seeing it on the car, it looks like a dedicated Porsche wheel. Here are the specs on his setup:

20x8.5" - 2.0" LIP / 20x12" - 4.0" LIP
SATIN SILVER FINISH - HAND POLISHED SEMI-LUSTER SILVER FACE, MATTE CLEARCOAT / CHROME LIP

I guess I am the only one who thinks "blingbling" polished wheels are more suited on an Escalade than on a P?

I just find the entire car, the big picture, to be like the thread says Perfection. I like wheels with polished lips with silver faces, but if the whole wheel is chrome then yea that belongs on an SUV, just my opinion. I thought 20's would be too big, but this just looks so very upscale. Maybe it's the white paint.

quick question. I'm new to the forum and in my last post I tried to post pictures that were 1280x960 directly into the post, but they were too big I guess. These pictures of this 997TT are pretty big: 950 pixels wide at most. What's the picture width or size maximum for posting pix directly in with the text. Thanks.

Okay I just did a right click on the pictures and under properties they say

950x638 I'd say this is prob the biggest you can go
