Thanks! Yeah, I was unsure about the gold, so decided to go with more of a white gold so it wasn't so bold.

The wheels look nice, but the front looks to have some positive camber. This must be the result of downsizing.

Thanks. I think that may just be the photo. I was at -2 deg camber with my 19's and don't think that would change with wheel size. I could be wrong so someone might want to chime in on this. I do need to take it in for an alignment though.

Funny, I was just looking at this very option for my car. Didn't think about the subtle gold color though...good call. Fantastic look. What are the specs of the wheels...offset, etc.?

Edit: Also, some yellow Lamin-X headlights, etc. might look pretty good now with the wheels to bounce the color off of...

Thanks! 8.5" front 11" rear, both ET 56. Thinking about throwing a 5mm spacer on the front. Tires are 235/40/18 and 295/35/18 respectively.

Yeah it must be the angle. Upon closer inspection I could see the top of the tire lean towards the inside. Spacers would definitely bring that to light. It looks ready for some laps, well done. You can't go wrong with BBS.

i'm not usually a fan of 18's on 997's but your car looks great! tires look beefy!

Boosted Josh May 17, 2012 10:54 AM

Your car looks fantastic! Of all colors I think that gold looks best on a white!

It looks great static but I bet even better rolling.

I also think that 18's are plenty.
