Awesome! Picking my 993 and driving it back home for 12 hours was a great way to start to bond with it. Enjoy the trip!

Post pictures when you get it.

Time to change your Signature now..

Congrats! Tim has had a good week.

This must be yours:
http://www.holtmotorsports.com/inven...=50&vin=323600

In regards to 18s, I would suggest the lightest OEM, which is the Carrera Lightweights, circa 2002-2004, or one of the lighter aftermarket, Champion, Kinesis, HRE.

You bought a well sorted car that you will enjoy for many years.

I hope my car will be gone by Thursday, but if not, say hi for me!

Looks great.

If you don't get the new wheels soon, be sure to get those wheel weights off the front of the wheels. I had to have that done when I got mine (you can see my before and afters in the link in my signature).

Chris-

How much did you end up paying.........just curious? Also, I have heard a lot of good things about Holt. Is this a good place to look? Good dealer, etc... ? Thanks!

Grat lookin car Roc. Enjoy the drive home to Ohio. I was thinking I'd replace my stock wheels also when I got it in December. But a month with the car and those stock cup wheels are growing on me for some reason.
