Beautiful set of wheels. John over at CCW makes a robust great looking wheel. He does a great job of fitting them just right. I have a set of 17's in black on my DE car.

Sorry for the delay guys, been busy!
Thanks for the kind words! I really like these wheels and had chosen them out before I had the car!
They are 18x8.5" front and 18.10.5" rear. 225 front and 255 rear Pilot Super Sport.The offset if 52 rear and 56 front I think...I'll double check.
The rear fenders needed to be rolled ever so slightly so they don't rub on larger bumps.
No positive camber on this setup; must be the angle of the shot or something. The front needs to be a bit lower, Im working on that next. The suspension is a Bilstein coil over that was on the car when i bought it...green shocks...HD's? It's not very stiff, which is great as this is a daily driver/street car. I have a fully track prepped and caged 996 GT3 for the track.
I like the D-Zug lights and they work quite well. I painted the inside trim black since it looked like **** with it silver. They act up a bit sometimes if i don;t blip the gas before turning them on; the alternator needs to be working or else it draws to much current I suspect. Only 1 light will light up. Still have some issues when I go from high beam to low. The guys from D-Zug are supposed to help but i have a tough time actually talking to them...very hard to get in touch with.
The dog is Hoosier, my Labradoodle of 2 years. He's a good dude and poses for pics without issue...especially if I have a treat for him!
I should have some more pics this week and I'll be happy to post them.

Simple racer elegance, perfectly matched to the silhouette.
OT, great World Cup race in Montreal this past weekend. I bet the speed they climb up the park (and the Uni) must be amazing compared the the daily scene of local riders.
I bring my bike up every summer and love doing hill repeats up that climb. My favorite section of town is Westmont, climbing up Av Mount Pleasant and Av Sunnyside on the way to Summit Circle. Perfect grade to get me in shape for the North Carolina mountains.

4:53 up CH and I'm 11th overall (pro included) on the Poly climb (as per strava).
But like i said, that's a one time all out effort and not at the end of a race .
These guys are animals.
I live right next to the top of Mt pleasant so I do it ALL the time. In fact it's how I have to come home from almost anywhere south of me; that or up Camillien Houde.

Hey, is RL head honcho Bob your dad?
I took this picture of him last year at Tremblant. I had a great time cruising the paddock, looking at all the eye candy. Of course I met a couple Rennlisters there too.
Maybe you were there too? Album: https://picasaweb.google.com/1086737...&noredirect=1#

Lovely looking wheels, they look perfect, your paintwork looks a mile deep and your dog looks like quite a character but I have a question for you....
Out of the three which is the hardest to keep clean as neither look easy to keep shiny or fluffy?
