Looks great. Any plans for some wheel spacers? I think pushing those wheels out a bit would look amazing.
Thanks for the kind words
Yep spacers planned front and rear.
The wheels have disappeared into the fender wells due to the lowering, and the lowering has also added additional negative camber, which further increases the “lost in the fender wells” look.
I’ll have the geometry adjusted, then see what spacers will be required to get a more flush look.
I’m running a 295/235 tyre combo, so I think I’ll need no more than 10mm on the rears, and I have Eibach adjustable coffin arms on the front, so with the stock top mounts adjusted for maximum positive camber and the Eibachs wound out to apply some negative camber, I’m hoping to get away with some fairly thin (7-8mm) spacers on the front.

Man I think some Gemballa/Cargraphic wheels would look amazing on your car…

Very nice 👍🏻
Unfortunately 3 piece split rims are too high maintenance here in the UK climate. If you decide to sell the OZ’s however ...
I’ve stuck with the OE 5 spoke Carrera wheels because they’re the lightest 18” wheels fitted to the 996.
They’re also easy to keep clean, and they show off my newly developed big rotor kits rather well :

My 'commute' has no traffic lights, and very little traffic. Wildlife is common, and caution is recommended. #meridianmetallic She's due for a bath. There's 2 trips to YHZ and back worth of bugs on her. Today, soap and a spritz. This morning at Halifax PSC there is a PCA tech event, can't make it tho.
