Tim-- Appreciate your efforts to help me spend more money . I researched that option, partially cuz I know how much you love Speedlines. There's always more to learn about 993s, but here's what my Rennlist research revealed:

- GT2 Speedlines will not fit a stock 993TT, i.e., WB / WTL.

Whenever possible, I prefer brand new, OEM WB wheels as opposed to NBs with spacers.

As much as I'd dig the superlative look of the GT2 that ANDIAL perfected for RLer PorscheMeister (Jochen Rohr), it's my impression the wheels you suggest were never made OEM in WB / WTL offsets, which are different than the GT2.

DAMMIT!!!! I'm bummed. I've got a sick dad in the hospital so I won't be able to make it down there. I'd probably just get my greasy fingerprints all over those wheels anyway. Have fun without me, J-man!!!

Mike-- I'm just bummed about your dad. He's got a great son with the right priorities, though; much more important than seeing Speedy.

She's silly, anyway. Example after being shipped straight to ANDIAL: Finally in town to introduce herself to friends at their historied shop, she asked if they had a drive-through window; wanted a 3.8 twin-turbo plug upgrade to go.

So embarrasing
I think she's a blond, she just dyes her paint as a red-head

Big thanks to Peter & Arnold for the great tour!!! RLer PorscheMeister & I were hoping to meet there, but missed each other by a day. Should catch up soon, though.

Here's the source of Speedy's silly question: one of ~25 made. IIRC, ~620 hp 993... in rockin' Arena Red Metallic

I haven't even begun to explain intercoolers to her. Wish me luck with that!

Congrats Jäger.

Speedy sure has been in impressive company lately and IMO she deserves all of the awards and attention.

Some day I'd love to see her in person.
