Baby's got a new pair of shoes!
 
I recently upgraded my Lobsters to Carrera S II wheels, and I couldn't be happier. So I thought I would share some pictures (just crappy iPhone pics, but I'm excited so....)!

And thanks for forum member dksu for giving me such a great deal on these wheels.

What do you guys think?

I think they look great! Good choice!!!

ATL Aug 24, 2009 12:58 PM

looks good, those wheels give the car an updated look :)

DrBobOh Aug 24, 2009 01:02 PM

Very classy. They fit the car extremely well!

Nice! Porsche makes some really good looking stock wheels.

Bara Aug 24, 2009 01:18 PM

i think both wheels fit the car very nicely and they both look great.

it wouldnt be worth the hasstle/expense to me to swap from one to the other but it might be worth it if the new set were wider which i think is not the case.

i prefer stock porsche wheels to just about anything out there in the aftermarket.

Looks real good.

sharkster Aug 24, 2009 01:33 PM

Looks really good and if anyone is interested I have a new set for $2000

JmanE55 Aug 24, 2009 01:39 PM

Looks great.

Looks a hell of alot better than the lobsters which in my opinion is the worst looking wheel on the market.

dksu Aug 24, 2009 02:25 PM

Looks great Eddie. I'm glad you like them. I agree too that the new wheels makes your car look more modern and fresh. What tires are you running in the rear? 305?

locus Aug 24, 2009 02:32 PM

they were from widebody? anyway looks very nice.

G6OON Aug 24, 2009 02:32 PM

Looks nice.

Thank you, David. Running 295s on the rears.

Yup. ET51... looks just right to me, as I was running my Lobsters with a 15mm spacer on the rears (ET67 + 15mm spacer = effective ET52 offset on the rear) and I knew another mm wouldn't do anything negative to the look of the car. No rubbing no issues :)

Thanks everyone for the kind words!
