We finally got a break in the nasty weather we have been getting in the north east and with the help of some friends we were able to get some media of the two cars together.
I'd especially like to thank my friend Chris for his photography and video work.

Enjoy:

Nice video! and Superb pictures!
Where are you located in NY?

 

Very Nice Josh, I take it you were piloting the CGT!!!

 

Great pair of cars there

 

Very nice video..thanks for sharing!

 

two beautiful cars!...you have good taste!

 

Josh, Nice pics, VERY nice cars. My ultimate car goal is to have the GT2 (again) and have the CGT as well, now that is a what life is all about.

Are those Kinesis k18r rims on th Gt2? What finish are they? If they are, I have finally found the wheels for my 2.

 

Thanks everyone for the compliments.

9Eleven, the wheels are K19Rs, anodized centers with polished outers.
19 x 8.5 and 19 x 12

 

Do the nineteens have any effect on ride quality, handling, performance? Because they look sweet.

 

They are lighter than the stock wheels, so there really was not an impact in going to a larger size.
The factory setup had Michelin Pilots, I went with Michelin PS2s on the the Kinesis, which is a noticably better tire. So, infact, the car handles and grips better than it did with the factory setup. I have not tried 18" PS2s on a lightweight 18" wheel on the car so I cannot comment about that, but the current setup I have is easily an improvement over stock.

 

Well, that is definitely the set up for me. Thanks for the information. That's what this forum is all about. Is that your car on the Kinesis website? If not, it's your twin brother. Check it out.

Congrats Josh. Nice pictures. Did everyone from DTM migrate over to that site? CMT start it? I am out of the loop.

 

Yes it is. If you look on the last page the very same wheel is on a different car. These were the first set of K19Rs for a 996.
I purchased these wheels from Peter Lee at Wheel Experts who I highly recommend doing business with; they were originally sized for a 996 turbo (shown on that last page at 19 x 8.5 and 19 x 11) I originally had intended to put them on the 996tt I had, but picked up the GT2 shortly there after. I pulled off the Yokos that were on them, shipped them to Kinesis and had them widened to the proper GT2 widths and fitted them with 235/35-19 and 315/30-19 Michelin PS2s. Kinesis did an excellent job guessing the appropriate sizing for the wheels without having the car onsite to measure. The rears recieved an inch larger inner barrel and the fronts recieved a 1/2" smaller inner and a 1/2" larger outer for a 2.5" lip to push the wheels out to the GT2's wider track. The fitment is perfect. They sit almost completely flush with the body work and clear all aspects of the car completely. As far as I know, they are the only K19Rs in existence in that size. But, perhaps not for long

 

you're a lucky guy josh!
beautiful cars!
