Default More wheel ****

Here is another new set of wheels to take a look at - Kinesis Twists purchased from Thatcher and a pic of my new GT3 seats

My old wheels were chromed hollow spokes - with the removal of the now not needed 35mm spacers spacers and the extra weight of the wheels it looks like I shaved off 24 pounds of rotational mass!

Arena red = best color ever IMO. Wheels look great, too!

Very nice. Are the rear tires 285, 295 or 305's?

FYI, you'll need to order a Swissvax Wheel Brush from Phil at Detailer's Domaine. And put a couple coats of RejeX on the wheels and polished lips. Then all you'll need is hot soapy water to keep 'em looking good.")

He's having a Father's Day sale right now. I think the code is "dad11" for 18% off.

Love the car, love the color, love the wheels, love the seats.......but the extra Porsche emblem on the steering wheel has to go.

I've never really been a fan of the 3 piece twists, but your car is f-ing stunning and exactly what I'm currently looking for...

Enjoy!

I'll echo Nurburger.......3pc Twists were never my thing, but your car looks absolutely KILLER. Must be the wide body size/offset that helps! What are the sizes/offsets?

We need to do a local GTG....soon.

Those rims look great - not many that compete with the stock wheels IMHO.
Questions:
Do you think you could access a child seat in the rear by sliding the GT3 seats fully forward? That is, if the child seat is already installed before you put the GT3's in, and just need enough room to lube a kid up and slide them back there?

If so, can you tell me where you found the seats and approx $?

Thanks very much,
Mark
