Default new black Forgelines on 930S

First of all, a big thanks for all forum members; have been researching on what type of wheels to put on my 930S. After many searches, I decided on 17 inch Forgeline SO3 - many thanks to Mark and Steve at Forgeline; they were great to work with.

4" lips on the rear, an 2" llips on the front; matte black centers, Porsche crest center caps, high polish outer rims. Also upgraded my brakes to Brembo GTP brakes, thanks to Steve in Seattle for all his help.

No spacers, all stock. That is why the rears have 4" lips. If I used spacers, I could have cut the lips to 2" approximately.

Great choice. I did the same years ago and wheels still look like new.

I went conservative: front - 235/45/17 rear - 275/40/17. I was tempted to go wider in the fronts, but did not want to go so wide in the fronts since it is manual steering. I read going to wide in the fronts would make it steering harder.
