Steve - I have the AJ USA wheel and I like it a lot. However, you should find someone with a techart wheel and feel that. It's far better than the AJ USA wheel or the OEM 996 wheel IMHO.

Hey Doc can you get in a little closer my eyes aren't that good and I really want to see what your caps look like. Also where did you get them?

Sounds good Kenneth. I'll look forward to that pic. I looked online for the C4S caps but haven't had any luck finding them. My crests look pretty bad... Who paints the color on the C4S caps???

Very nice Alex. I personally like the black and silver crest for the wheels. The background color also matches the wheels a little better. I see you also do the proper pointing of the crest towards the valve stem.... It is amazing to me how many Porsche owners have never heard of this...

I like the "simple" silver crest on the wheels, Thanks. Do you also have the NEW silver crest on your front hood, on your SILVER car? Or does that not look so good on a silver car as Dr Kenneth Garchow had mentioned - he thought it looked great on a Black car, but not on a silver car.

Hi Doc,

Thanks for the close up of the caps, nice chrome lugs as well.

thanks alot. They are Dave Schardt's (Forgeline) work here in Dayton - . They are not the flashiest ones out there but Forgeline makes really great racing quality wheels. No affiliation (though I will be at his DE event this weekend at Putnam Park in Indy )
