Looks fantastic! I would keep both sets of wheels. Each set really changes the look for your car and both versions look great!

Thanks for the compliments.
I've ultimately decided to sell the 19x8/10 Ruf and 18x8/10 BBS RE and decided to keep the 18x9/11 BBS LM.
If anyone is around the Montreal area and interested in any set the prices are $3900 (w/tires) for the Ruf and $1900 (w/o tires) for the RE.

The car just looks mental with the LM.

I especially like the color coordinated jack handle! It doesn't get any better than that.
A lot of thought and attention to detail...and it shows!

You're almost there! Only thing left is the engine work! Narrow body turbo r would be amazing!

Really great, but do you consider to get it another 2 to 3 cm closer to the ground?

Thanks guys!

For the engine work, I already spoke with a Ruf sales rep when I was at the Geneva Autosalon. The project would be huge, as they would have to swap in a new 4wd system, engine, fenders etc. He also told me at that point they would restamp the car as though it would be a brand new Ruf. Add shipping costs to and from Pfaffenhausen... $$$. Who knows, maybe one day.

As for the ride height. Montreal roads are on par with 3rd world countries. I cringe and slalom down straight roads every time I go for a ride. I have to select my routes before I go for a drive! So the ride height will stay as is. If it was a show car I wouldn't mind slamming it, but I want to drive this car as much as possible during our short summers

That's a valid reason!
Here its a little the same, but not because of the roads, its coz of the bloody humbs all over ...
Living beside the Autodrome, i decided to drive on the road only to the workshop or to the gasoline station, the rest on the track
sometimes, compromises are unavoidable ...

and again, its a awesome car, it earned to be driven!

too late for another compliment?

Love the new look! The red LMs give it a "track ready" look. Sweet!

Looks great! Where did you pick up the OEM Aerokit sideskirts? I'd really like to add those to my car!
