Default And the slippery slope begins...

Thanks to this forum and the support of my loving wife (a.k.a CFO) the LONG wait and search for my 993 has finally come to an end. Unfortunately, the car is crossing the country and the 7-10 day wait is KILLING ME. The driver called and said that sunday will be the delivery day!! Now if I can just make it until then

I have already started down that slippery slope everyone talks about. Luckily, these were delivered today to hold me over until sunday. I will post the car details, pictures, etc once I have it. Just thought I would share the pics of these goodies in the interim...

Put some $$$ aside for repairs too. I also started on the slippery slope but just had the sunroof stop working.

Love the LM's. Also curious as to where you picked them up.

Wheel ****! I love it, the mods have started before you even have the car. You'll fit in here just fine.

Any details on the car the wheels are for? Year, model, options, colour(s)?

Thanks guys -

got a good deal on the wheels from Eddie at Modbargains.com. The fronts are 18 x 8.5 and the rears are 18 x 11. Based on what his BBS rep told him on offsets, etc he recommended I do a 285/30/18 on the rears. I figure I will start with that and if there is no rub bump up to a 295 eventually

The car is actually known and documented rennlist car - 98 C2S - I will post pics once its in my possession
