Looks great, I would paint the calipers red and then it will look really sweet...

Ludwig, thanks. I think I'm going to paint the "Kinesis" logo on the center caps iris blue to add a splash of color.
Cway27, I'm very happy with the purchase of these weels. They would have looked great on your RS. The rears ended up being 10.5s. I had two refinished because they were mismatched (2 andized, 2 powdercoated). They look like new now. Thanks for being a good sport. What is next after you sell the RS?
TMAC & Tippy, thank you.
Fly996, no worry...different strokes for different folks.

I was able to find a Kinesis center cap at Wheel Enhancement, so I went with the Kinesis centers, instead of Porsche centers. I sprayed them semi flat black, which was an exact match for the powdercoating. I decided against painting the Kinesis logo iris blue. I like the all black look. I can't wait to install the aero kit and black "Carrera" decal.

Well I might keep the old RSA after-all. 10.5 inches wide would of not fit since I run quite low. Wheels look great and I can't wait to see your car with the full aero package. It will look amazing!!

Cway, thank you. I just read an article in one of the British Porsche magazines about the RS America. It was very favorable. It predicted they would do nothing but go up in value just like the ROW 964RS models are doing. Your car looks great in your avitar. It has a seriously low profile. I wish the 996 911s would hold their value like the older ones are.

Thanks Lowstro. All that I will need after I get my aero kit installed is a Supercharger like you have. EVO or TPC would be just fine.
