This car needs some Speedlines or RH wheels.

I like the 'raw' look. And color matching the exhaust might just be that little bit too much. I am shortening the exhaust tips. 1.5-2"

Today the car went to the body shop to get a couple of things straightened out. Most importantly the rear fenders are widened. Also the exhaust tips shortened and I will have attachment points installed for the 5 point seat belts.
Some unnecessary metal will be taken out in the rear seats area to prep the car for the rs interior.

The shop that does the fenders is well known here and they are the RWB shop as well. He will add the 21mm spacers, pull the car down and precisely fit the fenders. I want minimal addition of width, just enough to fit this wheel/tire combo. I think it will be great.

Besides that I like this look much better these wheels are a significant weight savings over the RH Speedline copies. I think its almost 3kg per wheel! Thats a total of 12kg (26.5lbs) saved!

Hi 964TT
The car looks and no doubt is awesome on the road! When I go to the Ring I get the ferry into Ijmuiden port, and a few mile from there I always pass a Porsche specialist on the opposite side of the road, is that someone you use, are they any good I've always wanted to call in?!

Hey Simon, big thanks! Honestly don't know that shop. I'm from Amsterdam myself and have a local shop taking care of my car.
