Wheel weights......

Carrera Classic wheels(19") with Pirelli P Zero Rosso tires...

Fronts....45.6 lbs 235/35/19
Rears.....53.6 lbs 295/30/19

DPE S series (20") with Pirelli P Zero Nero

Fronts...48.6 lbs 235/30/20
Rears....53.8 lbs 305/25/20

Dpe SPSC-5(super concaved) with Nitto Invio tires

Fronts....49.6 lbs 235/30/20
Rears.....59.7 lbs 305/25/20


So I know UNSPRUNG weight is suppose to be a killer....BUT I am willing to sacrifice a few pounds,and NOT all that much,IMO.....for the look!


Stacy

 

they look great!! I really digging with the flush look, what offset are they?

 

Nice lookin wheels!!

You won't need to worry about unsprung weight once you have the turbo, plus no track driving. It would barely be a rounding error for you!!

 

Very nice!

 

wow ! these wheels are definite keepers !

look how fat the rear looks !! are u sure ur car is not the 4S ??

i like ur old/gold retro style, too, tho.. decisions decisions.

hell, keep both and u could call one set 'Destiny II' and switch back and forth.

 

Those look great!

 

WOW - the wheels look amazing! I love the aggressive look in the back.

I am sorry if you mentioned it before but what was the width in the back? 11"?

 

Looks good. Nice sideskirts

 

Just to clarify......THIS IS the first Porsche to get this set-up,which is why we have to fine tune the fitment......after talks with Manu at DPE and measuring tools...we NOW have it solved.
The back fit,aggressive,but work and work well! The fronts,being that they are concaved,we need to machine caliper clearance.....so I am shipping the fronts back to DPE and they already have the machine warmed up and waiting to get it done,LOL!
NOW I am looking forward to getting them back!
I am just beside myself to how MUCH they transform the car...!
I also changed the back tire to a Pirelli and 'BAM'....lovin' the look!
The 305 Nitto was just to squared off on the edges for my liking(muscle car looking).....the Pirelli (more rounded sidewall)on the concave wheels work way better,IMO!
I am putting the Nittos(only in the 295 size) on the gold wheels since they are NOT nearly as an aggressive offset!


Sorry,I have no idea of the offsets...best to contact DPE for those!

LOL....I agree with the extra power of FI....these babies will still PULL hard!

Thank-you

LOL...frickin'
BUT seriously...IMAGINE How wide a 4S would look!

YES I am keeping both.....that way when I get bored,I can switch the look of the car in an hour!

Thanks

Yes 11" they are!

Thank-you......


Here are two pics of the two wheel sets I will have at my disposal to change when I get bored....

 

Stacy: If you drove your car more, you'd have less time to get bored so easily.

 

Wheels look awesome Stacy! Congrats!

 

AHHH Ken,my favorite time of the year is NEAR!
Almost time to put it up on blocks,pull the under panels and bumpers off and CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN the car,LOL!


Thanks Ken.......VERY VERY happy with the NEW wheels....BUT I also will keep the old ones too!

Stacy

 

Totally different car! Much nicer than the gold one's.

 

Oh the concavity, quite lovely I must say. Great choice of wheels including the gold meshies.

 

Class Act!


Superb second set of wheels, you have great taste. Easily one of the best 997’s, simply stunning.
