It just keeps getting better... not an easy task when it started out looking so damn nice.

Wheels look great. I think it would look even better if they come out a bit more, especially the rear. Also, the car could stand being lowered.

Yep, I totally agree...I had a 7mm spacer for the front as they are in more than the rears, but with it in place I couldnt get enough turns out of the lugnuts..need longer studs.

Suspension is next, so hopefully we will get her down by early next year.

Are those custom made wheels? The centers look like 15" or16" centers? I don't know if I like them with having that much lip? Makes the centers look too small.

Kevin- they are custom built to your specs, these were off a 993. They are from Kinesis Motorsport. www.kinesismotorsport.com I believe the centers were originally designed for 17's, but as you can see they make 18" sets as well making the lip larger.

Right on. I thought they looked a little differant. Do you know if that adds weight or are they still pretty light. You would think it would make the wheel stronger.
