Rear would be the 18x11 +55 .. which should be almost perfect for a GT3 - type setup

GT3 offset is +63 for factory rims. 8mm = 1/3" which is not trivial.

ahh the good old want vs need.... I'm keeping my eyes wide open for the new wheels Apex is developing. Very BBS E88 esque looking. I feel they offer some amazing designs for pretty realistic prices.

Today was Porsche Day at the local car museum, so I spent a few hours last night finishing some 'visual maintenance' projects I'd been putting off. Rock chips touched up, cracked rear badge replaced,
plastic/rubber restorer plastic/rubber restorer
applied to all the window gaskets (which worked great for $15), and so on... best the car's looked in a long time!



Great turnout with some fun surprises (CGT, Targa Florio-winning 910, lots of modified air-cooled Turbos), but the biggest surprise -- taking home the trophy for the ~90's category! I was also excited to see a white 996 Turbo win the 00's category. Pretty cool to see the 'ugly duckling' generation beat out so many 964, 993, and 997's.

Your car looks great. Sadly I'm at the Cape for 2 weeks so I missed this event. Next year.
