Those silver wheels look great on red... Nice choice.

I'm very happy with my H&R springs. You might check those out too.

If I didn't have the aero kit I would go with the most aggressive drop. Instead I have to sacrafice, I can only give up a little ground clearance in the front.

Agreed - polished lip sets it off a little more... Overall, chrome centers just aren't for Porsches in my opinion...

FWIW, These springs don't lower TOO much in my opinion. I have the Cargraphic front WITH the carbon chin and 20s with the springs. It scrubs some, but if you're careful, it's no biggie. I love it. To me, my car just looks like it hovers.

The car is very very good IMO...but you should lower it a bit!
After that it would be perfect

i'm surprised no one has mentioned that the 19s look undersized on the 997. are the wheel wells markedly larger than on the 996s? i'm beginning to think maybe the ideal size from the aesthetically pleasing standpoint are 20s (gasp).

the 19s just kinda look too small lowered or at stock height. it most definitely needs lowering and it is most definitely better than OEM. in fact, i don't like any OEM wheels. u can always do better with aftermarket ones.

The wheels look great on red and nicely paired with the Aerokit. I am somewhat puzzled by the 315 rear size tires....why did you go with this tire size versus 305?
