Thanks for all the comments guys, much appreciated, but I don't think the pics do the wheels justice... The reason I didn't go with HRE or any of the other common Porsche used wheels is, Every bodies got them, Its hard to be different these days, and I felt like Klassen could help me be different. I also went with Klassen because they are well known for making VERY aggressive offsets & fitments, they make a great quality wheel, and they always push for the maximum lip size. I think 20s look best on the C2, oviously 19s are better for performance and also look good... Some of you read my 1st post, for the ones that didnt read it, I HAVE KWS WAITING TO BE INSTALED. I just realized I didnt take pics witht the top down lol...

G6OON is infamous around these parts
20'' Klassen cross spoke wheels look dope on your 997. Great choice.

Could you tell me the widths/tire sizes and offsets of these rims and how deep is the rear dish?

Keep up the good work.

Not a big fan of either chrome on wheels nor 20s but give you cred for the bold stroke.....& BTW....your's is the only opin that counts especially when it come to wheels.
Your offset appears fairly aggresive on the rear so unless you suspension mod firms things up significantly you may be looking at some fender prep to get her down where you want.....not a big deal & depends on how far you dial it down.

Good luck.

The rims look great!!! Love the black and white contrast, the CF additions are gonna look great too. Definitely agree that the 19's are better from a racing perspective but the 20's look waaaaay better. The photoshop lowering is perfect, wish I had the skills to do that. Rubbing shouldn't be an issue, I've had no problems with mine, but I guess your situation will depend on how much your lowering it. Either way the rims look great, congrats on the upgrade!

Thanks man, Klassen says that dropping it wont be an issue, I got the wheels set up for a KWs, the diffrence is the way the wheels will clear , So from what Klassen says I can slammmm the crap out of the car and it still wont be a problem, no matter the drop being springs or going very low with coils it should be ok...well see what happens, well find out in a few days...

canuck, did you drop your car, it looks really nice, you need to post some pics as well, and it looks dropped, as well, it may help persiangodfatha with his decision.

I dropped mine with H&R's, I've attached a couple of before and after pics. You may not want to slam it too much if you are going to go with the front lip spoiler. Since I put the Techart stuff on my front clearance has changed drastically. Issues of the front rubbing generally happen when going over oversized speed bumps and going from a steep grade to more level surfaces. It gets annoying sometimes but bearable. So don't go too low because guaranteed you'll hate it if you do, especially once the lip spoilers on. That’s my two bits anyway.

wow really nice set up, what are the wheel size, looks like 8.5 in the front and 11.5 in the rear, on what kind of rims?
p.s also do hear a rubbing noise when you turn the wheel, because of the drop, and does it rub with those 20's?

I couldn't remember how wide the rims were....I just measured fronts 20x10 and rears 20x13. They are Savini SV 10's wrapped with Michelin PS2's (fronts 245/30/20 & rears 325/25/20). I have had no problems with rubbing.

Nice design, but 20" looks too large to my taste. Glad you like it.
