First, allow me to apologize for the **** poor quality of the photos I posted earlier. Although my camera is capable of taking great photos, I am just learning how to use photo editing software and, in my rush to reduce the photos for posting, I destroyed the quality. The following photos should be better quality (while still small file sizes for quick loading).
I went to Wheel Enhancement today and had HRE 540R wheels mounted. I could not be happier with the result. The Techart coilovers will be installed tomorrow, which should improve the look even more.
This is a photo of the stock rims (at the dealer):

These are photos of the new wheels on the stock suspension (pardon the somewhat dirty car -- I caught a lot of bugs on my five hour drive from Redwood City to Los Angeles):

Craig it's not so bad,
Honestly, I think the factory Wheels look better than those HRE 540R wheels (seems smallers than the factory.).
but why you don't put directly some '19 !!!? Over the TT the '19 are just perfect!.

Sweeeeet!!! Next, you need to lower the car so it doesn't look like a 4x4. <img src="graemlins/beerchug.gif" border="0" alt="[cheers]" />
IMO, all 996 looks better in 19".
