Default It’s Ruff Having Ruff Wheels

I just purchased some great wheels. They are very light, 20 inches & just perfect on a 991 S. My car gets air suspension this weekend. I also don’t have a camera but I have a guy that will be taking pro shots once I have it done. I’m also going to wrap in Gulf Blue. Sorry for bad pics. I usually spend 3-4K on wheels, this is in a different stratosphere.

I will have it bagged very soon with much better pics & painting the Ruff caps yellow to match my yellow caliper, Seatbelts, roll bar, floor mats & careers S cluster .

Any reqs on a great sounding exhaust? Very aggressive?

I'm not a fan of bagging a 911... but those wheels looks great! It's not my "bag" but with a bright color wrap, you could easily get away with some gold/copper/bronze color for the wheels too The whole car looks great; spoiler, cage, aero, GT3 bumper, all of it.

I think people should enjoy their cars in the way they like too so you have my support to do "you". But may I ask... why a cage and GT3 bumper, etc and then bags vs coilovers?

I always loved the 19" and 18" RUF wheels on the 993s back in the day. But they were never considered "light". In fact, they are boat anchors. But, now in the day of 20 and 21" wheels, it's all relative.

These are very different in terms of construction than the old stuff... Forged and <73 pounds for all 4 wheels. That's crazy light for 8.5/11 x 20.

Love, love, love the RUF wheels!

Could be my next mod to create a modern-day and modest tribute to the great Yellow Bird!!?

Those look great on your car. I didn't realize they had narrow body fitment. Where did you buy them from?

car looks good, only thing i would fix/change is the exhaust tips, they stick out too much for my liking. it would look much better it were in 1-1.5" more.

Looks like you hit a curb with the front driver side wheel.
