Thanks, CC6. The wheels are 18's, the car has been lowered with Eibach springs. Perhaps the reduced fender clearance makes the 18's seem larger. Not sure, but I think the offset is something like 40.

If possible, let me know the sizes (wheels) for front and rear (would be great if you know both offsets). And tire size you are running. Shopping for wheels myself. Still trying to pursuade my friend to sell me his 996TT wheels! If that doesn't go through, I might go with the Gemballa Comp's.
If possible, let me know who you bought it from! and price!
Thanks so much!

James,
Nice pics.. So there was sun in Seattle at one time recently? You are going to have to ditch the amber lenses, and you should think about maybe bringing the ride height down just a tad bit....
Love the yellow calipers on the S

Bob,
I have the Bilstein HD's and ROW spring on the S, can these be lowered further with the exisiting setup ?. If not it will have to wait for my PSS-9's sometime later this year. My first priority has to be the LWF, GT2 clutch setup as the one on the car will probably expire sometime in the Spring...I was planning to visit Steve Weiner to get this taken care of, at the same time replace the bypass valves with billet units and replace the clutch slave unit on top of the transmission...after this (cash / wife ) comes PSS-9's, upgraded turbo's and ECU work. Bob, don't you want to move to Seattle...if doesn't rain much - honest
Seriously, we seem to be lacking good local Porsche shops...hence my intent of using Steve in Portland.
I should change the amber lenses right, I like the euro clear look for some reason the wife like the amber - I have the solution...I will change them and tell the wife the sun bleached them...so all I need now is sun - lol.

While you car looks good........you and BA......should consider getting the ride height........way.......way........way.......down! This minor mod (hehhehee) will take your "good" looking beast.......too "BA"d looking monster!
But ya don't have to take my advice......afterall.......My "mere" c4s is almost stock...
