Default Finally the wheels are on... PICS :)

And oh yea...... I bought a RS wing and decklid pre-painted ( thanks AL Z) Its the easiest way to do a basket handle delete!

FINALLY i have the wheels on the car and took some pics for you guys. They look amazing IMO. The car has had the Bilstein HD/M030 on for a couple months now and I had the car in for an alignment and ride height tweak to RS +10. I think the car could be a tad lower... but overall I think its a great compromise since the car is a DD. I measured and in is infact within the RS+10 spec but I swear some of you guys are much lower running the same thing.

For those who dont know.. the wheels were built by Jim Dorociak. They are Speedline Daytonas (originally made for Techart) 8.5'' Front (~ET46) x 10.5 Rear (~ET 56) as a custom offset. I had Jim paint the centers Stahlgrau which is the color Porsche used for the 993 GT2 centers. After measuring a ton... we decided to change the configurations of the wheels for a maximum rear lip. This ended up giving me a 2.5'' lip which looks closer to 3'' from the bolts.

Thanks so much to Jim, Macca, Cabrio993, aribop, and Darin for answering all my stupid questions

Now for the pics:

I just threw up in my mouth, seeing your pics and then opening my garage door and seeing mine! Ooooo the injustice!

Wow, that is worth every penny and you are officially the man!

Congrats it looks awesome.

HOLY CRAP

words don't do them justice... gorgeous

wing looks perfect (I've just purchased an engine lid to mount a fixed wing, use the grille from the moveable gear on the lid I bought)

Are you going to do the 96-98 high brake light ?

again, car **** you have there...

thanks and wow... coming from you with your car that is quite the complement. Love your RS wheels. I will do the 3rd brake light when I finish the rs goodies off.... still need to decide what brand splitters to get. Then I need to get some Stage IIs, shave the front bumperettes and then some interior mods. Haha... coming from a guy that was going to keep his car stock. Rennlist is the devil
