Thanks for all the feedback... and props guys. Sometimes we just crave change.

Hmm, perhaps I should swap out the wheels and leave body in tact. Moacur, assuming those are equally high quality retail $2k each-ish wheels you interested in a trading ;-)

Hmmmm... Thanks for the offer but I am a 3-piece, big lip wheel guy My DPE's were about $8500 new and they will be going up for sale shortly. I am currently having a completely one off set of 3 -piece BBS wheels made. They were supposed to be done about a month ago but it is taking longer then expected. I've got a list of PM's from people on here and on 6speed that want to buy my wheels when they go up for sale. I'm really hoping my BBS are done soon. Once they are in my possession, the DPE's will go up for sale

As a tease for you. Here are the same wheels on my buddies 997 VRT before he crashed it at the track.















His car is currently being converted to a 1000hp Turbo RSR widebody with all OEM parts

Haha nice. I used to be exactly the same. 3 piece, fat lip etc. then I started to think it looks more dated. Depends on the app. Those DPE are nice. Step lip was a good call.

I would just change the red wheels out. Moacur's car though is my favorite.

This was at Road America a few years back, right?

I was there when a similar car wrecked.
