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:

Looks real nice. Congrats on a great choice of wheels!

 

Wow - that's breathtaking - complements the lines of the car perfectly. Great taste.

 

Well Ron,

I have to say they LOOK PERFECT and I am glad that I helped with your decision!
DPE wheels ARE amazingly crafted wheels!

Enjoy!

Stacy

 

Very nice. Love the concave look!

 

very nice indeed, love those wheels.. congrats!!!

 

Hot!

 

Very nice! I agree that yesterday was a perfect day for a drive here in Oregon. I had to do some driving myself!

 

I think Stacy is a dangerous guy: he gives you this unjustified desire to modify and improve your Porsche. I am starting to feel the pull, too... and I don't like it (actually my wallet don't...).

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..

 

If you're following the manual, you must now also post a picture of your blonde w/ the wheels

j/k they look really sharp

 

Or any Blonde....LOL!

I have to say AGAIN.....the wheels look REALLY sharp! The color suits that car perfectly!

Stacy

 

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.



Just wanted to make sure you're safe...

 

Careful... he might ask to use yours... LOL !
