Thanks to DPE Wheels as well...
Also,it seems DPE wheels(Manu) has stepped up and offered me a NEW set of shoes(for a wicked deal) for this build...
He is absolutely the MOST understanding guy to deal with....I have changed my mind SOOO MANY TIMES...and he just laughs!
Lookin' forward to meeting Manu when he come to Vancouver this summer.....DINNER is on me buddy(the least I can do for your patience),LOL
So....
The wheels are the same as these only concave and will be done with polished lips and brushed centers......
SPC-5S(shallow concave) for the front
and a
SC(super-concave) for the back...
NOW I just need to get the Aerokit from Porsche....to really change the car up....
Should be kinda cool to be able to change my car's look all in an afternoon........
Hopefully NOW when I get bored,I can make these changes,LOL!
Stacy
PS..I was considering these wheels BUT kinda have decided on the ones above,only as a SUPER-Concave.....,LOL

Freaking awesome Stacy!!!!!
BTW, I am remodeling my recording studio and I can post pics if any sponsor wants to give me any deals! I promise will incorporate them into pics on the 6 site.
Keep us posted stacy. You are inspiring me to pull the trigger on this mod.

Those new wheels are going to look fantastic. However, one of the things that grabbed my attention to your car where the current ones.
That gold is so different, yet tasteful its ridiculous. Both great wheels, just different impact.
Looking forward to seeing this damn turbo put in already.

Thanks Ed...I just wanted something a whole bunch different that what I have!
AND I know what you are going to say to that..."Buy some track wheels,They are different from the Gold wheels"...!,LOL
Karl,you are getting to know me too well.........YES I am restless and have 'eye-balled' the car with wrenches in my hand every night,LOL.The ONLY reason the car IS NOT apart.....is because we have holidays booked shortly and Carole wants to take the car on our day trips.Besides I can have it apart in about 3 hours......
But I have been pestering you....Sorry Casey!
I did that yesterday,LOL......NO KIDDING!
Picking wheels IS the hardest thing for me to do....heck building the bodykit was easier to design then trying to pick the right wheels,LOL!
I love those DPE gold S-20's....that is why I decided to keep them and order a new set.......switch it up every once in a while!
I cannot and will not lie......I am looking forward to getting the turbo here and started.....
I hope it will be worth the wait!

Picking wheels is always hard.. I am glad i like the stock S wheels.. they will keep me from purchasing any for a while!

Stacy,
What are you running for a clutch? With the supercharger kit and turbo kit I can imagine you upgraded or will be upgrading to handle the extra HP. I have to do a clutch on my car soon and basically want to get it "turbo ready" I look forward to your write ups!
Thanks,
Chris

I am running a stock clutch UNTIL it wears out...at which point I would probably go to a Sach's clutch......

I have been looking at the stage 1 sachs clutch but VIVID is asking $2,400.. thats pretty steep.. I have run SPEC clutches before and was pretty happy. Looks like you can pick up a stage 2 spec clutch for around $850. Just curious on the route you were going.
Thanks!

FWIW, since we started the turbo 987 project we always opted for the 911S clutch(X51) as well... They hold the power well... So, in lieu of that we are going to stick with recommend 911S clutches... Stacy is going to brake some power barriers though so he might grow out of it before we do 
thanks!

Are you going to go with the standard Sachs clutch or the stage 1. I see they are offering a high power pressure plate as well. http://www.vividracing.com/catalog/s...5-p-53197.html
