Botsy67, if the sale falls through I might be interested and Im local in Houston.

7/14 to me is the most I would push out the wheels, but it's subjective.

No Better pics to post, however IMHO 7mm on a WB is too conservative for my taste.

15mm up front takes away from the look of the rear a bit, otherwise it sounds excessive, but it works.

Just to let everyone here know that I already sold my spacers/lugs set to another Rennlister already. I received couple of PM's and I sent back replies. FWIW, I really liked the wide-stand look of the 7/14mm spacers on my NB 996 especially from the rear and the overall handling improvement, it felt more stable at freeway speed. My avatar pic still shows the car with these spacers. Cheers...

I have a set of custom 17mm "donut" spacers for the rear. I made them to use with technos. Sold the wheels. Have these left .

They were cut on cnc , plain round disc with flange on face. Also have 10 Boothe 45mm chrome lug bolts which are needed with them.
I made them to acheve a better look, than the standard bolt ons with 2 sets of lugs. Which look bad when you look down thru the wheel.
Spacers costed $100, bolts costed $140.

Arnee, looks great! What size spacers (if any) do you have in front? What are your suspension mods?

No spacers up front. The 15mm spacers I tried up front makes the tires rub on hard turns. PSS9's, corner balanced.

ArneeA, very nicely done. I've been thinking about wheels, but what you've done there makes me think otherwise.

thanks. I think the 18" Turbo Twists II actually look beautiful. Unfortunately, their offsets are not low (aggressive) enough that they require some sort of spacers. GT2 wheels would be perfect.

Arnee, what about the wheels in your avatar? Are the LM's?
