New wheels - worth the wait!
First off, have to say thanks to Stacy (justatoy) for peaking my interest in DPE wheels. The 5 spoke set he got for his car really is amazing, and I had to get some for my 997. I ended up looking at several different manufacturers, but in the end, DPE's design and look took the top spot. I spoke to Manu at DPE and got wind of another upcoming design with a similar concave profile - 7 split spokes. Got the order placed several months ago, and after some focused attention to detail - today I've got them on my car. And what a perfect day here in Oregon - sunny and 70 - just right for a drive!
I think these are just fantastic. Have a look:

Thanks for all the replies, I am really happy with how they turned out. I did get a comment on the rear wing - for those of you who didn't see my previous post on the install - it's a GT3 replica wing by Precision Porsche - excellent fitment, and after a great paint job by a custom body shop the wing looks like it was OEM (except I had the 3.8 filled in). Here's a pic showing the whole wing, sorry about the lighting (sun wasn't low enough in the sky, and wanted to get driving!)

Congrats on the wheels ! Its gorgeous !
Like I told Stacy, those concave wheels bring out the width of the 911 beautifully.
love the pic below
P.S. it is wise to stay away from Justatoy's thread unless u have a fat wallet..
wait til his next project is revealed..

PS - Looks like you're using the OEM wheel bolts - are those the right ones for those wheels? IIRC from a PM conversation I had w/ Stacy (yes I know his are a little different), his use conical seats not radius but I could be wrong.
