I drove it for a few months, including at Lime Rock, but decided what I really wanted was a GT3 Sweet car she was, now being enjoyed by a fellow PCA guy in TX.

Low964: Yeah, I know...it's soooo much better than when I started w/ it 5 months ago...replaced the D90s and skinny el-cr@po tires with Cup 1s and wide Dunlops...and the cat is gone too! Trying to pace myself on mods...

Couple posts above was asking for a deep blue 964 with black centered (Fuchs) wheels...no Fuchs, but black centers here:

Thumbs up 965 wheels

My preference would be original color w/ plain non accented caps, like the 964 Carrera RS.

DrewC2,
What dimensions are those rims? Looks really nice.
The 964 is quite sensitive to rim size, and I have always preferred the (middle of the road size) 17" CUP1s.

But when they cost the same or more than even OEM Porsche 19" rims it´s getting ridicules.
So I would love to see some more 18"/19" from 997/987/Caymans on 964s!

Ciao,

Daniel
