WOW! Looks incredible! 
Sucks that the BBS wheels have the balancing weights on the outside of the rim. It would lead me to put the RUF wheels on for that reason only. Otherwise, I too like the idea of switching them out every so often.
Another idea, related to both the badge and your car debate:
You have put so much thought, energy, and $$ into this car, why not get a RUF engine/ conversion to go with it? Then your current TT would be "redundant" and I think you would sell her with less of a sense of loss. Also, that would make the RUF badge non-"poseur"...

Wow. that is one of the finest heavily-moded-yet-not-ricey 993s ive seen
anyone that knows what a RUF is will probably recognize the bumpers so no need for a badge.
have fun with that one.....PS did you ever fit that other steering wheel with the yellow stitching? I liked it.

Alvin,
What a great looking car. I like both wheels... are the Ruf wheels syill painted black? I think I'd like them better in the bright Ruf silver. do a side-by-side shot and post a poll!
How did you get that yellow stripe in the steering wheel?
I want to shave my gutters!

Magnificent job and worth all the effort and money. Congratulations and well done.
