I have no problem with changing wheels but I don't understand the repeated changes with wheels that look the same. You must really love mesh style wheels. But why continue to buy the same style over and over?
You finally get something different but it doesn't come with a center cap. That's cool on compact tuners but a P-car is a luxury sport car.
Just my opinion.
The ride looks nice.

No offense, but they all look the same to me. You've got the stock, the spoke/mesh, the black spoke/mesh, and the last pair....so, in my mind, 4 sets. I guess there are subtle differences in each category, but not enough difference for me to choose one or the other after I already bought a pair. Of all of them, I'd chose the BBS for the race pedigree and weight.

Cool

It's true, they are all similar except for the current set. It was all in the pursuit of perfection. IMO, mesh design is the safe choice for the 911 and I tried all sorts of iterations of the mesh wheel in different colors and fitments to acheive the perfect look and since no configuration satisfied me completely I stepped out of the box and mounted the meister, a completely different wheel not used on any other 997 currently besides mine, and I think these may be it.I did it because I can and if nothing else was acheived, I created a virtual mesh wheel catalog for the Porsche 997 from several major brands

Yea the comps were great, and seeing your car at Paseo Colorado many moons ago was the catalyst for my C20's.

Can I have a request for your next set of wheels?

Advan RZ-DF in all Matte Black!!!





I think your car looks absolutely stunning! If you're ever feeling the itch to start experimenting - feel free to let us know!

I for one have a special appeal to this car.. when i first saw the pic of this car was when it had the c20 and cargraphic from carbon lip, and that picture made me fall in love and went to get my first 911..

This car has evolved and keeps on suprising us every single time.. and now with the works wheels it looks so damn good..

keep it up bro and cant wait for your next mod.

Please don't make a "hellaflush" Porsche. That stupid fad is about the ugliest thing you could possibly do to a Porsche. Let VW and Civic owners have that stuff, don't ruin a beautiful 911 with "poke" and ridiculous negative camber. Stay classy.

Thank you for that great compliment, very flattering to know that my car inspired you to get a 911.
