New BBS 996 10-Spoke Wheels
Finally got to get rid of my crappy Targa wheels and wheel spacers, and threw on a set of 996 10-spokes. Much better looking than before. 17x7 and 17x9, 50 and 55 offset.
Excuse the bad pictures. I've never been known to be very artistic.

Sweet wheels! Those are the same as on this page, right?

Did you purchase online, and if so, would you recommend who you purchased from? I'm new porsche ownership so I'm still trying to figure out where the best places to source parts are.
Thanks,
Andrew

Nice looking wheels, much better than the "crappy Targa " wheels.
Now you need to get that front end lowered to at least "stock" ride height.

Thanks guys!
Yep, same wheels. I bought them from an individual here in Hawaii. They're a bit lighter than the Targa's, but not as much of a difference as I thought there would be. I've read on numerous sites that the Targa wheels are real heavy. I think i'll weigh them while I still have'em and post up the weights.
Yeah I need to get the front-end down bad. I want to get either some Eibach HD's or H&R sports with Carrera RS Bilstein's. I'll probably mull over it forever though.
Today i'll be throwing on a set of Zimmermann crossdrilled z-coat rotors and OEM pads. Dreading putting on the SS braided brake lines though. I have a Motive power bleeder, just really don't want to deal with it today lol.
