Hello everyone! Long time lurker, finally signed up. I am on my 5th Porsche, and arguably the best yet, a 997.1 TT. Low mile high option (hardback adaptive sport seats, SSK, sport chrono, etc) car that I purchased CPO a year or so ago, I am loving the experience. Recently decided to address some of the points of the car that bothered me, namely the stock height and OEM wheels (which I will post a 'for sale' thread on in the appropriate section). Went with BBW LM-R's and TechArt springs. Front are 19x8.5 et55, Rear are 19x11 et63 with 23mm H&R spacer. Power upgrades and a proper exhaust are next (I miss the PSE on my former C2S!). Nice to meet you all

Very nice, what might look sharp would be some 'turbo' script centercaps.
Outstanding!

Thanks man, any other brand and I would probably do that, but I like the BBS logo there and think it "works" on the car given their history with Porsche Motorsport.

Thank you, beautiful cab. Btw, lived in N. Scottsdale (Kierland) for a couple of years, it is my minds home away from home.

My recollection is that BBS center caps have a different diameter than Porsche standard so hard or impossible to find center caps.

Beautiful car, enjoy it! And welcome!

Agree, a silver turbo is very nice ! A top choice for a Porsche.
But these wheels compliment the car extremely well ! Love the look.
Also the lowering looks spot on.

So also from me a big congrats, you have a tremendous good looking car.
And +1 on the BBS logo's , Porsche and BBS have a long history together.
