Thanks, Mark. I was hoping for the 17s, but I'll keep the 996 wheels in mind. Feel free to PM the details/price when you want to sell them.
600RR: Found it on craigslist. No second thoughts. I love cars, but an air-cooled 911 is the car I love more than any other! The impression that the sound of that '83 made as it wound out in first gear is as vibrant as the day I heard it
And the 993 is (slightly) more modern interpretation combining some of the same sound and style in a little more livable package.

Congrats, I know you can't stop looking at it. I have had mine since march and I still think it is gorgeous every time I walk by it. Stowed away till the salt clears off the road now though.
Enjoy

Hey nice car sir.
But as a triple black owner - I'm a bit biased.
Triple black manual C2's are quite rare here in the UK so it took a while to find one for me. If its the same in the US then I can see why you snapped it up.
Mine has 17" Sport Classics on it, which I think look quite good.
Congrats again on your new 993.

triple black with sports classics - (if I've managed to load a pic for the first time)
failed
cant really get the hang of loading a pic for some reason. Its on flikr but I'm obviously doing something wrong.

Congrats!
Don't be in too big a rush to replace the wheels. The existing wheels use taller rubber that gives a better indication of tire roll-over at the limits of grip and is therefore easier to know when you are at the limits. They also give a smoother street ride.
