+1, but I don't dislike the design of the wheels, I just dont like the black lips. I'm sure its only in the pics, but its hard to tell where the tires end and the lip starts.

what is the weight of a front and rear wheel separately? and how do these wheels stack up to the rest of your production. these apper to be more so on the lighter side, then again I'm no expert. I have always been a fan of multi spoke pattern. IMO this is the best wheel for p cars.

I'm still not a fan of the 997 turbo. The rear is gorgeous, but the front is just too plain and boring, especially compared to previous turbo's. As Jeremy Clarkson says, it looks like Volkswagen Beetle.

I have to disagree with you on that....

I actually like the "plain and boring" look of the 997. The 996 is the only one in the 911 family that didn't have the circle headlights. The 997 looks much closer to the 993 than it does to the 996.

993

Thanks guys!!! This car is putting down about 800 horse on NOS, and 650ish on motor! Runs 10's @ 134+mph...Destroys everything at Sebring track days, and drives me to work on sunny days with nice cool AC, smooth and quiet until you **** it off. these cars really are incredible, just the amount of power and abuse they can take without breaking is so impressive.

I get into "fast" cars like Gallardos or 360's, and they feel like Toyota Avalon's now...


Oh, the windows aren't tinted because I just don't like tint, I've always loved the look of nice clean clear windows - tinting to me makes the car look older, just my opinion.

Looks great. Didn't know it was your personal ride. I know what your saying about tint, I always keep mine light but I do like a little.

That 3.6 is a beaut, I had a 996TT and it was a pleasure.

Why no PCCBs?
