Default A Few New Pictures!

I was at the Autobahn Country Club a couple weeks ago to watch a few Rennlisters (Certz and OmniGLH.....3rd place finish, too!) run the 24 Hours of Lemons. I noticed a photographer in the parking lot taking pictures of my car. I asked him to e-mail them to me, and he was kind enough to send these. This shows my newly powdercoated 996 hollow spoke wheels and new Yoko AD08 tires:

Looks amazing. Do you still have the 3-pc'ers? I'm loving the shaved headlight washers as well--what is the line right there on the bottom pic, where the headlight washer was? Protection film? Or did you cover the washer hole with a painted piece?

Thanks, Mark! I still have my Speed Line Daytona's. I'll swap the wheels around during the driving season, now & then. This will further fuel my OCD, since I love clean wheel barrels.

Not sure I see "the line" you speak of. My front bumper has the washers delet done. No film on the bumper, had it removed, and re-shot, last summer. The entire hood and front fenders still have the film (one piece). Not a huge fan of the film.

Thanks, Dan. I love my Speed Lines, too, but the hollow spokes are sooooooooo clean right now! And, new rubber is always a plus on the rear.

Sorry, won't be up north on the 24th.

Thanks, Brian! She's a 60,000 mile garage queen. 1/2 of those miles are mine since November 2009.

Your car looks amazing. The new wheels look fantastic as well...but I'm biased.

How do you like the AD08's so far? These are in the running for me. Also are you running the 225 front w/the 295 rear?

Looks good, another wheel that is stunning on a 993tt is the sport techno rim.

Looking very sharp ! That paint is perfect.

The new wheels are nice for a change too.

Stunning! With you permission I may want to use one of those pictures the next time I try and sell my Aerokit II. The pictures are great and exhibit the look nicely.

Thanks, Chad. So far, the AD08 are good. I only have about 500 easy miles on them. I'll put them to the test when I do my weekend run, about 320 miles, on 'em Friday when I hit the back roads in and around New Glarus, WI.

My Kumhos have been excellent. I expect the Yokos to be a little better.

I am running 235/40/18 front and 295/30/18 rear. 36 and 40 PSI.
